DESIGN OF A NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD SYSTEM
(A CASE STUDY OF NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD, NGWO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA ENUGU STATE
ABSTRACT
This project is aimed at improving along
lasting processing and administration system on National Identity card.
It is also aimed at keeping records of all processing and
administration system for national Identity card with view of modifying
it into a full computerized system. The study covers the areas of
application entry, record verification, list generation, code numbering
and maintenance of the managed information. The new system developed is
very easy to use and gives answers to report generation. Problems which
evolved from the existing system as a result of inefficiency will be
notified and new system design implemented. During the analysis,
examination of written documents, oral interviews as well as text books,
journals will be used for data collection and also a source of
information. Also, it is expected that a program will be produced in
order to help the national identity card processing and also document
identity cards. With references to the rapid growth in the information
technology, it is deemed necessary to develop a fully computerized
system for the National Identity Card System through this project.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The National Identity Card Processing
and Administration system is the only through way a state and a nation’s
population figure can be ascertain. To be accepted in a given locating
or geographical area, it is necessary to bear a mark. Mark here does not
really mean facial mark rather an identity. This identity card will bear
your name, states, every single information about you as an individual
or person. This therefore boils down to what we know as National
Identity Card.
The Question is “what is an identity
card? As defined by many authors and dictionary including the
encyclopedia. It is a national document certifying State, nationality,
issued by the government of a country to every individual or person that
the definition National Identity Card can also be called a true image
of an individual or person, because it tells well abut a person.”
Every citizen of a country that is of
the stipulated age constitution have the right to apply for insurance of
the National Identity card in the state he or she is staying. The
National Identity Card is not issued to people who are not of age. For
this reason, there is a need for the maintenance and assessment of
records in order to maintain current data concerning an individual. It
is also for easy references, to know the number of labour force,
Identification and fraud check and also good for revenuer allocation of
the federal government for proper population figure.
However, there are different arms in the
internal affair ministry which takes the responsibility of checking and
issuing the National Identity Card. But as it concerns our area of
interest in this project work, Department of National Civil Registration
Under the federal ministry of Internal Affairs, of NGWO Local
government Area of Enugu State will be our target.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
National Identity Card processing and
Administration system is not an easy task. This reason is because it
involves absolute carefulness to ascertain a population figure, prevent
forgery and avoid the dangers of Impersonation, duplication of multiple
National Identity Card for one particular person.
Scanning through reports for a file with
definite information can be a techniques and time wasting work because
of the large volume of record to be scanned. Also to change particular
information may be as a result of marriage, change of name, or loss of
the Identity card in other words known as update will also be a tug of
way for the individual in charge. It creates weariness and loss of
dedication to duties by the staff thereby restricting the powers of the
Department of National Civil Registration services following the
constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which states that “No
Public Officer shall put himself in a position where his personal
interest conflict with his duties and responsibilities” (1999
Constitution 5th schedule point 1 no.1)
Finally, the processing and administration system will be capable of restricting to non-authorized person.
1.2 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The primary purpose of the study is to
critically analyze the activities of National Identity card Processing
and Administration system with a view of controlling forgery and
duplication as well as finding a lasting solution to these problems. To
create a better and lasting identity card system for Nigeria as a whole.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
For the fact that this project research
is aimed at having comprehensive review of the manual system of
operation being carried out in the Identity Card section of the
Department of National Civil Registration Ngwo Local government area of
Enugu state into a computerized system. The following will be taken into
consideration for subject matters. They are:
- Ensure accurate and timely update of the holder record.

- Finally, a proper storage system which keeps all vital information ready for use.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This is limited to the activities
involved in National Identity Card Processing and its administration
system and also report generation on the National Identity Card holders
Information.
It is on these that the effectiveness
and efficiency of the National Identity card section of the Ngwo Local
Government Area of Enugu State.
1.5 LIMITATIONS
The limitation is based on the facts
which the researcher could not lay hands on pertaining to the study,
which evolves the problems of insufficient analysis.
In addition to these limitations are time factors and financial insufficiencies.
1.6 ASSUMPTIONS

work flow and assessment as well as record keeping of the national
identity card section of the Ngwo Local Government Area of Enugu State
will be made easy, interesting and flexible- also, the management will
