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
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 willbear 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
3
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.
– Check multiple possession of the National Identity card.
– Deprive immigrant who are not citizen of the country form
obtaining the national identity card.
– A proper account of the identity card issued.
– 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
Assuming that this design is implemented 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
4
flexible- also, the management will make quick finding so that conclusion
and decision will be reached as aid when due.
