El-Rufai further said that the resident cards would serve as means of identification and enable holders to use it as bank card.

 ‘’You can use it as a debit card or credit card depending on the type of arrangement you have with UBA.

“The card will also enhance financial inclusion because being in possession of it gives residents the opportunity to have a bank account if such person does not have a bank account before”, the governor said.
