Abstract: In today’s world, carrying multiple cards by an individual to establish one’s identity and make different transactions has become an essential part of our lives’ routine. Several options have been adopted by various countries and every option has its pros and cons. However, it has been observed that in most cases, a single smart card solution has been preferred by users and organizations in some countries and Nigeria is yet to adopt it. This paper is mainly to study the Single smart card awareness, acceptability among Polytechnics students in Taraba State. The study adopted survey research design. Thus, two hundred (200) students were randomly sampled (from a population of one thousand six hundred) for the study. Two research questions guided the study. Data for the study was collected through a self-designed questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation. The findings of the study showed that many students go about with multiple cards without the awareness of single smart card technology, while others due to security challenges constrained the acceptability of a single smart card. The paper concluded that there is a need for awareness and training to familiarize users with the single smart card technology looking at its benefits and application outweighing it challenges. Also, the paper recommended among others that further research on the security of a single smart card should be carried out to enable users to accept and adapt to its functionality.
