In
a move that is set to change the way business and payments are made in
Nigeria, MasterCard has been signed up by the Nigerian government to
launch an Identity and electronic payment system under the recently deployed National Identity Management System (NIMS).
The dual purpose cards are designed to create a cashless society
where users will be encouraged to pay using their identity card. The
pilot scheme will target 13 million potential users from 16 years and
above in the first phase of the programme.
