The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has produced over one million national identity cards, out of which it has issued 300,000, the Director-General of the commission, Mr Aliyu Aziz, has said.Aziz, who made the disclosure in an interview in Abuja on Thursday, said over 750,000 had yet to be collected.



He said in spite of the commission’s constraints, including limited funding and production capacity, it had made remarkable progress in its assignment.

According to him, the commission is exploring avenues to expand its capacity to be able to deliver faster and more efficiently.

“You may recall that we started card production and issuance in 2014 through a mini card personalisation bureau set up as part of intervention to meet the identity needs of the public.

“Unfortunately, the Private Public Partnership (PPP) effort was not very successful.

“The commission is, therefore, making efforts to get more support from government to scale up its service delivery to Nigerians.
