“The card is not only a means of certifying your identity, but also a personal database repository and payment card, all in your pocket.

I have taken keen interest in this project, primarily because of the pervasive impact it can have on every facet of the socio-economic fabric of our dear nation,” GEJ said at the event.

The card shows a person’s photograph, name, age and unique ID number. 1o fingerprints and an iris are scanned during enrollment to ensure there are no duplicates on the system.
