NIA supports issuance of centralised National Identification Card

The National Identification Authority has supported calls for all biometric identification to be placed under one umbrella.

The Authority said such a move will not only save the nation a lot of money but bring sanity in the issuance of ID cards.

Currently, the NIA is producing the National ID and agencies like the EC, Passport Office and NHIS are also producing similar cards.

But Head of Legal Affairs at the NIA, Joseph Iroko, says the Authority is poised to take up the challenge.
