President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday received his National Identity Card from the Director General of the National Identity Management Commission, Chris Onyemenam. The brief presentation ceremony was done at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
During the presentation at which President Buhari made no speech, Onyemenam said that NIMC had already captured the database of about 20 million Nigerians.
"We did two things. First we demonstrated to the President how the national identification number can be used to confirm the identity of an individual, even if the person is not present and that is the reason why we said the identification number is a security number, because with that and if you have access to our database, you can confirm the identity of an individual.
“Secondly, we presented the electronic card to the President and we demonstrated to him how it will be taken round. This is one Rome that was not built in a day.”
