Nigerians must pay for a new multipurpose ID card due to funding limitations, according to the NIMC.

Nigeria's National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) requires citizens to pay for a new multipurpose national identity card due to limited government funds. Dr. Peter Iwegbu, NIMC's Head of Card Management, stated this payment ensures the card is collected by those who need it, addressing past issues of many uncollected free cards. The card, which can be used for identity verification, payments, and government services, will be available through banks nationwide. Programs are in place to assist less privileged citizens in obtaining the card.
