What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The government is targeting to register three million youth aged 16 who do not have national identity cards and will be turning 18 in 2026.

The aim is to make them eligible to participate in the general polls.

The State Minister for Internal Affairs, Gen David Muhoozi, has called upon the targeted youths to use the next few weeks to register themselves.

“Within the next two months, government will focus on the 16-year-olds and above, who are not on the register, in order to ensure that we live within the November 30 Electoral Commission set timeline,” Gen Muhoozi said during a media briefing in Kampala last Friday.

“During the period leading up to October 15, persons aged 16 years and above, or those who will be 18 years by January 2026, are advised to register and acquire a NIN (National Identification Number) using the current registration system. The working estimate for this category of citizens is within the region of three million,” he added.
