President Jonathan today August 28th launched the new
national e-ID card at the Villa in Abuja. The new e-ID card which is powered by
MasterCard is a multi-purpose card for identification, electronic signatures,
and can be used for depositing money, withdrawing and making payments. So it's
both an ID card and ATM.
The first phase of the project will see 13million Nigerians
issued the card while the next phase will target 100million Nigerians. The
project is a partnership with MasterCard, the Nigerian National Identity
Management Commission and Access bank.
