In an effort to increase NID number membership, the federal government, acting through the National Identity Management Commission, has announced the deployment of more computer systems.
The provision of additional enrollment systems to all states was approved by NIMC CEO/DG Abisoye Odusote-Coker, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Kayode Adegoke, Head of Corporate Communications, NIMC.
She mentioned that one of the measures to reduce NIN enrollment difficulties and boost operating capacity is the countrywide distribution system.
Odusote-Coker stressed that her government will not tolerate the extortion of applicants and that any employees who are found to be unsatisfactory will be handled in accordance with the Public Service Rules that are now in effect as well as the laws of the constitution.
“The provision of additional enrolment devices underscores the commitment of the DG/CEO to streamline operations and enhance overall effectiveness.
“The systems have since been installed and in use across all the states and have not only resulted in reduced time spent by applicants but have also increased the number of applicants attended to daily.
“Engr Abisoye Coker-Odusote has also sent out monitoring and evaluation teams across various centres nationwide to ensure the smooth running of enrollment and modification exercises.
“The team will also strictly comply with her zero-tolerance stance against extortion and unethical practices”, the statement reads.
