gfullmoon: INSIGHTS FOR THOSE GOING FOR INTERVIEW!

MasterCard grabs Nigeria’s Identity
Card deal Tweet 44 May 12, 2013 | 7:17 pm Finance By Prince Osuagwu Nigerian National Identity Management
Commission, NIMC, has announced
partnership with MasterCard on the roll
of 13 million MasterCard-branded
National Identity Smart Cards with
electronic payment capability as a pilot program. The National Identity Smart Card is the
Card Scheme under the recently deployed
National Identity Management System
(NIMS). This program is the largest roll-out of a
formal electronic payment solution in the
country and the broadest financial
inclusion initiative of its kind on the
African continent. As part of the program, in its first phase,
Nigerians aged 16 years and above, as
well as all residents in the country for
more than two years, will get the new
multipurpose identity card which has 13
applications including MasterCard’s prepaid payment technology that will
provide cardholders with the safety,
convenience and reliability of electronic
payments. The Project will have Access Bank Plc as
the pilot issuer bank for the cards and
Unified Payment Services Limited (Unified
Payments) as the payment processor.
Other issuing banks will include United
Bank for Africa, Union Bank, Zenith, Skye Bank, Unity Bank, Stanbic and First Bank. Expressing happiness at the development,
Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Dr Mrs Ngozi
Oknjo-Iweala noted that “this program
is good practice for us to bring all the
citizens on a common platform for
interacting with the various government agencies and for transacting
electronically. We will implement this
initiative in a collaborative manner
between the public and private sectors, to
achieve its full potential of inclusive
citizenship and more effective governance,” she said. Meanwhile, President, Middle East and
Africa, MasterCard, Michael Miebach, said
that “this partnership is the first phase
of an unprecedented project in terms of
scale and scope for Nigeria.MasterCard
has been a firm supporter of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s CBN, Cashless policy
initiative as we share a vision of a world
beyond cash. From the program’s inception, we have
provided the Federal Government of
Nigeria with global insights and best
practices on how electronic payments can
enable economic growth and create a
more financially inclusive economy”. On his own part, the Director General and
Chief Executive of the National Identity
Management Commission, Chris ‘E
Onyemenam said “we have chosen
MasterCard to be the payment technology
provider for the initial rollout of the National Identity Smart Card project
because the Company has shown a
commitment to furthering financial
inclusion through the reduction of cash in
the Nigerian economy.” He added,
“MasterCard has pioneered large scale card schemes that combine biometric
functionality with electronic payments
and we want to capitalize on their experience in
this field to make our program rollout a
sustainable success for the country and
the continent.” “Access Bank’s involvement in this
project is testament to our ongoing
efforts to expand financial inclusion in
Nigeria,” said AigbojeAig-Imoukhuede,
CEO of Access Bank. “The new identity
card will revolutionize the Nigerian economic landscape, breaking down one
of the most significant barriers to
financial inclusion – proof of identity,
while simultaneously providing Nigerians
with a world class payment solution”. “Unified Payments is the foremost
transaction processor and pioneer of EMV
processing and acquiring in Nigeria,
owned by leading Nigerian banks. We
will use our expertise and experience to
guarantee the success of the project and ensure that the data of Nigerians are
protected. We look forward to working
with other partners in delivering value to
all stakeholders”, said Agada Apochi,
Managing Director and CEO, Unified
Payments. The new National Identity Smart Card will
incorporate the unique National
Identification Numbers (NIN) of duly
registered persons in the country. The
enrolment process involves the recording
of an individual’s demographic data and biometric data (capture of 10 fingerprints,
facial picture and digital signature) that
are used to authenticate the cardholder
and eliminate fraud and embezzlement.
The resultant National Identity Database
will provide the platform for several other value propositions of the NIMC
including identity authentication and
verification. Thanks to the unique and unambiguous
identification of individuals under the
NIMS, other identification card schemes
like the Driver’s License, Voters
Registration, Health Insurance, Tax, SIM
and the National Pension Commission (PENCOM) will benefit and can all be
integrated, using the NIN, into the multi-
function Card Scheme of the NIMS. When fully utilizing the card as a prepaid
payment tool, the cardholder can deposit
funds on the card, receive social benefits,
pay for goods and services at any of the
35 million MasterCard acceptance
locations globally, withdraw cash from all ATMs that accept MasterCard, or engage
in many other financial transactions that
are facilitated by electronic payments. All
in a secure and convenient environment
enabled by the EMV Chip and Pin standard. Upon completion of the National ID
registration process, NIMC aims to
introduce more than 100 million cards to
Nigeria’s over 167 million citizens

Realism is underrated. You need to see things as they are sometimes.

@shiloh, u re very correct. They will never encourage u for anything they talk as if they work with HR dept of NIMC

wizzy2021
Pls i will advise you to rest your case for now. the issue is that here , it seem you are dealing with mostly fresh or recent graduates that do not really have experience of things.

interview is just another level of selection that some people may not want to accept the truth.

No matter what you say , people will still argue, hence just leave it for now.

Not everyone that wrote the test will be called for interview. Abi una wan run the country down

U need to pass first, then federal character and other criteria will come into play.

People that will be finally called will be tagged "candidates with long legs" by these realists
