FG approves N30bn for new national identity scheme

The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved N30bn for a new national identity scheme for the country.

The amount would take care of the first phase of the scheme, known as the Integrated National Identity Management System, which is expected to gulp N30.066bn.

Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, who disclosed this at the post-FEC weekly meeting in Abuja, said the decision to embark on the fresh national registration was borne out of government’s desire to have a unified database of Nigerians who were 18 years and above.

Hmmmmm heyyyyyyyy
