The Director General of NIMC, Chris Onyemenam, at a recent presidential briefing, noted that Nigeria’s journey on the data harmonisation bid is still a long way ahead. He disclosed that the agency has the data of seven million people from its pilot efforts so far, which it is presently seeking to integrate with the 20 million persons registered during the on-going Bank Verification Number (BVN) exercise embarked upon by banks for account owners. When the exercise is completed, it is hoped that the captured 27 million persons can be quadrupled in the next three months, and, collaborating with other related agencies, brought to a total of 108 million in the national database.
