In his remarks, INEC Chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu expressed hope for a future where INEC can draw voter information directly from the NIMC database. "We look forward to the day when your database will serve as the single source of truth for citizenship identification in Nigeria. When the time comes, the national register of voters may simply draw from the citizenship register, as is common in many jurisdictions around the world. This could also enable citizens to vote in future elections from their preferred locations across the country, rather than relying on the locations where they register as voters. To achieve this long-term goal, we will deepen our collaboration with NIMC," Yakubu said.
