President Buhari registered for his National Identity Card in Aso Rock.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has been registered for his National Identity Card by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) inside the Presidential Villa Abuja. The president stated his satisfaction of the excercise and he emphasised on the importance it will play towards the oncoming 2016 general census. He said those who are entitled to vote and those who are 18yrs and above must be registered

President Buhari called on Nigerians, who want their votes to count from whichever party or constituency, to ensure that they and their families are properly captured. The Director General of the NIMC, Mr Chris Onyemenam, also said that the exercise was not a one-off thing and that there was no time limit.

He said it was a continuous exercise and that every enrollment centre that had been established would remain open forever, like branches of banks.

He added that the commission was taking deliberate steps to ensure that enrollment centres were opened in each local government.
