President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said the national identity card will compliment the permanent voter’s card in future elections in the country.
Buhari made the remark after he was registered for his national identity card by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. According to him, the project will go a long way to confirm Nigeria’s population.

Buhari said:

I think this exercise is very important to confirm our population and those who are entitled to vote, that is those who are 18 years and above. It will complement the permanent voters’ card. So for those who want their votes to count from whichever party or constituency, they should ensure that they and their families are properly captured.
The Director General of NIMC, Chris Onyemenam, said the exercise is not a one off thing and has no time limit.
It is a continuous exercise. So every enrollment centre that we have established remain open forever, they are like banks’ branches. We are taking deliberate steps to ensure that enrollment centres are opened in each local government. In collaboration with MDAs, we are now extending it to universities. It will also be extended to primary schools and hospitals.
With the cooperation we expect from INEC, we are meeting INEC today, it will be extended even further.
Because of the records of births and deaths that are the primary responsibility of the Nigerian Population Commission, it will even become wider because there are more centres for the registration of births and deaths.
Once a centre is established, it remains there and people can go there and enroll at their convenient time. They will do the pre-enrollment first before going to any centre for the biometric data capture.

That's actually how things are done in sane countries. Govt I.D cards can be used to vote or travel within the country.

You need to step out of your hamlet more.

mumu like you... See you that's talking about hamlet... Do you need document to travel within your own country? It is only aliens that need their document at all time so that they don't get into trouble with immigration officers...

I hate to see or hear back water guys like you claim front burner.

If we would use our National I D card as a voters card, why do we have to have a voter card that has its own reader? Can the voters card reader also read and recognise national I D cards?

You better close your mouth and follow politics as the novice you are.
