The Government of Nigeria has requested World Bank support to improve the national ID system and ensure it reaches all persons in Nigeria. This is a gargantuan task which will necessitate a new approach to ID enrollment. This is laid out in A Strategic Roadmap for Developing Digital Identification in Nigeria. The Roadmap proposes an ecosystem approach which would count on a number of public and private sector partners to support NIMC in conducting enrollments for the national ID. With inclusion primarily in mind, this paper seeks to articulate a framework for vulnerability in the context of ID in Nigeria, and identifies some key populations who are at risk of exclusion from Nigeria’s national ID.
