Aliyu Aziz, director-general of Nigerian Identity Management Company (NIMC), made the disclosure in a statement made available to TheCable.
He said the extension of the registration to Nigerians abroad is in line with NIMC’s mandate to ensure that all Nigerian citizens are enrolled in the national identity database and issued the unique national identification number.
Aziz said: “The programme will make it easier for Nigerians in Diaspora to be identified, as the Federal Government of Nigeria has made the possession of NIN a mandatory requirement for elections, Bank account opening, Land Transactions, access to Legal/health services, acquisition/renewal of the International Passport, Driver’s License and the ECOWAS travel document, amongst others.”
He said the NIN enrolment exercise will involve the demographic & biometrics data capture of all Nigerian citizens residing in the US.
The exercise, he said, is in collaboration with Thebez Global Resources Ltd, Defcon Systems Limited and National eAuthentication Limited (NeAL).
