In Nigeria, it has become common for people to associate their mobile phone numbers with national identity cards as directed by the government.
Authorities have announced the introduction of a new mobile app that people can download from the Play Store or App store to allow them to link their mobile phone number to their nationality number.
This is happening at a time when the general public continues to struggle with overcrowding and delays at citizenship registration centers.
Hadiza Dagabana, director of the Nigerian National Identity Commission (NIMC), briefed Ishaq Khalid on the new software.
