Addressing NID Issues

The National ID Card (NID) is a monumental project undertaken by the government. It is meant to replace fragmented identity systems like citizenship certificates, voter ID, etc., to enhance service delivery through efficient services in banking, healthcare, social security and education, to strengthen security with biometric data that helps prevent identity theft, fraud and duplication, among other goals. As such, the introduction of the card is a bold move towards efficient and effective public and private services through e-governance and digital transformation. This card is hoped to solve some of the problems the citizenship card has so far failed to do and other issues as well.
