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.
