Okija_juju: Really?!

After several billions of Dollars have been spent on contracts for Voters registration over the span of 13 years, they now decide to scrap it..

I have done National I.D registration once and Voters registration twice, yet nothing to show for it..

Naija I hail o!!

That is PDP and Jona's fresh mess for u.

Dat's naija 4u.

Apart from the fact that this would be another avenue to siphon funds into our leaders' bank acounts, this is a welcome development at least a national identity card would be accepted as a valid form of identification every/anywhere.

browncool: So strange that Nigeria as a country still waist money when the world powers are almost stranded thinking of how to feed their citizens, voters card in the USA and Europe are linked to ones Personal Birth Code registered withing 10 days after birth, kids should be registered at birth and that's all, Birth code = National id = jobless card for social = voting card till the end of time, whats hard that a Nation full of Intelligent people like Nigeria can't do?

Corruption makes it very difficult, if not impossible to do.

After billions have already gone down the drain.
Meanwhile, this is the best part in the whole news.

Also yesterday, the Federal Executive approved the institutionalisation of a six level national vocational qualifications framework in Nigeria and the placement of the national vocational qualifications in the scheme of service.

Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufa’I who disclosed this emphasised that the scheme is to down play over reliance on paper qualification and integrate skilled professionals into the scheme of service both in the public and Private sector.

According to her, “as Nigeria aspires to become a major player in the world economy, the place of skilled and competent workforce cannot be under played.

“A competent workforce necessary for higher productivity and effective implementation of development projects are building blocks for the economy

“The phenomenon of vocational skills framework as been embraced by many countries as a vital scheme to enhance development of competent workforce and ensure that qualifications to occupations are flexible, transparent and accountable.

“As Nigeria transforms to one of the world’s major economies, the greatest asset needed is a competent workforce, which the council believes could be best realized under the National Vocational Qualifications Framework (NVQF)” she said.

Our too much reliance on paper qualifications have seen Nigeria nose dived to backwardness whereas, there are hundreds and thousands of skilled labourers that can do the job more effectively.

It seams ur only headek is d 'ABOKIS' dis post of urs clearly shows d tribal sentiment,bigotry&segregation in u. patrotism&tribalism are like water&fire,BEWARE

Black Peni5: At Last...Something sensible by the FG. All the aboki cows, goats, chickens, etc that have been voting during elections should have it a little more difficult this time. Voters Cards are fraught with fraud.

''N2.1billion for the printing

Nigeria is a very fertile market tap in....

Very very good move from previously shoeless Jona from Otuoke.
Cassava bread must be doing wonders for the brain.
Anyone else wants to switch to eating wonder-working cassava bread

Thanks for highlighting the vocational education & qualification aspect of the news.

Way to go.

Jonah will be threatened by some northern leaders over this plans in the next few days and he will abandon the idea quickly as usual

Since the advent of democracy in 1999,the FEC has bin awarding contracts evry wednesday but hin no affect our lives in anyway,Wednesdays are always jamboree days for contractors.

Now voter cards!wht are thy calling permanent voter cards?is it the laminated paper tht thy issued for the last elections tht mine is so defaced tht i cant even recognise myself.Imagine hw much ths guys claim thy expended on common laminated paper.Now its national ID.Hope its not same as the ones we hav now cos if it is then i don hammer because i can get byou tht for just N2,000 and i can get you any volume at anytime.
Wasteful govt,purposeless govt,unserious INEC,Thif thif JEGA!

Can some1 pls tell tht minister of women affairs tht her office is useless and serves no purpose,it is a total waste of resources and we dont see the eseense of the ministry,It shuld hav bin nothng more thn a dept.As bad as this is she is now insulting our senses tht it is due to her hard work tht more women are getting appointments and tht she is sure 50% of NASS seats will be taken by women come 2015
Hw she take do am and hw much impact does her ministry have.Imagine such nonsense and she is enjoying full perks of office as a minister and she is goin to the FEC to utter such nonsense.shows how intellectually bereft GEJ's govt is.These people must thnk we are as dumb as thy are.

Why is it so difficult to hav automated voter cards like the ATM cards the banks issue.If its working for the banks with appreciable efficiency why cant the govt introduce this card and have it tied to individual biometrics so tht once you vote you cant vote anywhere else because your data will be captured in the database.WHY WHY WHY WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY

That means i can vote anywhere i'm staying during the elections

Good! Good!! Good Idea!!!

The minister said the permanent Voter’s card which will have a life span of ten years will contain unique biometric features that will identify the voter.

na now their eye clear abi.....na dem sabi

Identity card for a whole country is going to be printed with low grade plastic; without any measures to prevent identity theft. Your passports can be forged by a high school student. Your Id cards can be forged by a primary 3 student. This country is the correct definition of shameless.

A nice suggestion to the government. Once this is put in place and the machines to read the information there in are provided with internet facilities, it will help check multiple voting and stress associated with manual verification and the voter coming back to stay on a long queue to cast his/her vote. It would be a welcomed idea if the machines could be installed with pop up menus showing the parties and their logos which the voters will tap on the touch screen (the best technology I would suggest) and the votes are automatically counted to parties of voters‘ choices.

If INEC is the company required to do the National I'd then what will be the work of NIMC(National Identity Management Commission)'s identification card. Duplication of jargons. Derailed government.

what about those of us yet to register ? How and where does a new applicant register for a voter's card?
