President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday ordered all government agencies requiring identity verification or involved in data capturing activities by switching over to the National Identity Management Commission infrastructure by December 31, 2014.
Jonathan handed down the order at the inauguration of the enrollment exercise for the issuance of the National Identification Number held inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
There has been growing concerns among Nigerians over the duplication of data capturing activities by government agencies including the Federal Road Safety Commission, Nigeria Police, Nigeria Immigration Service and Nigeria Population Commission.
The Biometric Central Motor Registration introduced by the Nigeria Police recently had attracted criticism with many describing it as unnecessary.
The Police said the digital biometric registration which intends to capture the data of vehicles and their owners would be at a cost to members of the public.
This shows this government is certainly listening....but we want more changes Mr. President.
