In line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive on August 10 2015, to all agencies involved in collection and usage of biometric data in Nigeria to harmonize the data captured, Director General of the National Identioty Management Commission, Chris Onyemenam on Wenesday this week paid a courtesy call on the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, at the FRSC Headquarters in Abuja.

It will be recalled that the FRSC had made the move recently by releasing a press statement stating its readiness to collaborate with NIMC, in line with President Buhari’s directive.

While reacting to the DG/CEO NIMC’s opening remarks, which centered on the National Identity Database and the benefits of the collaboration to the two government Commissions, the Corps Marshal extolled the multiple use cases of the new National e-ID Card to government and to citizens. He assured NIMC that the FRSC was ready for immediate talks and take off of the initial technical aspects for the data harmonization.
