FG to end multiple ID registration by funding the National Identity Management Commission’s efforts to harmonise the nation’s data.
NIMC to harmonize national data base
The Minister stated that the country would soon be free of numerous ID registrations. On Monday in Abuja, he stated as he welcomed the MTN management group, which was headed by Karl Toriola, the CEO.
His media adviser, Babatunde Alao, stated in a statement that the NIMC had been given the responsibility of harmonising the nation’s database.
Synchronization will reduce identity theft
According to Tunji-Ojo, the nation needs a tech-driven data centre under the ministry. He mentioned that Bola Tinubu, the president, was open to improving the nation’s identity and security architecture.
We must have an internal centre, part of the declaration read. We will have all of our identifying information recorded in a huge data hub.
Hermonizing will save administrative cost
The key is data harmonisation. If we are successful at the Ministry of the Interior, NIMC will be the first to benefit. It is necessary to harmonise our data in order to preserve the integrity of our travel document.
In this way, when they have a valid NIN, our people do not need to repeat the data collecting procedures during the passport enrollment phase.
He explained that data harmonisation will significantly reduce administrative expenditures for the government as well as stress among the populace.
In order to draw our people’s data when they need it for a passport or BVN, he said: “When we harmonise our data, there would be an exchange among authorities. This will not only relieve our tension and save us money and energy, but it will also improve our workflow.
According to jerrymusa.com Tunji-Ojo observed that it was unnecessary to have a BVN number, voter’s card number, NIN number, and passport number all at once.
The use of digital chip
In order to plan and carry out government projects for accelerated development, he said “Information on the issuing of driving licences and passports, bank verification numbers, national identity numbers, subscribers identity modules, and others should be harmonised into digital chips.
We don’t need to have a BVN number, a voter’s number, a NIN number, and a passport number all at once, so we must work with NIMC to harmonise all of these and eliminate these overlaps.
“If the NIMC performs well, the NIS will perform better, and the police, NSCDC, and other agencies will perform admirably above par.”
