After opening the app, he clicked "Print NIN Slip", and "Print Premium Slip" appeared. A box asked for a token of N1,000 via Remita to generate the printable copy.
According to him, the soft copy generated with the app should be taken to a printer to make one's card.
Legit.ng spoke to Waliu, a Nigerian who had an experience converting a NIN slip to a card. He said that conversion is straightforward.
"There is no problem with the conversion at all. All you just have to do is give a printer the copy the app generated. With around N3k or less, you have it printed."
