The Federal Government of Nigeria recently proposed yet another National identity card project which will cost the nation 30 Billion Naira. This has raised mixed feelings and opinions on the matter owing to the bribery and corruption allegations surrounding the identity card project carried out under the Obasanjo administration.

C.C  Ekeke aired his views about it without mincing words in this article below;
