The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has distributed additional enrolment systems to all the states of the federation to ease National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment challenges and increase operational capacity.

The distribution was approved by the NIMC DG/CEO, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote.

The NIMC spokesperson, Kayode Adegoke, in a statement issued on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, noted that the provision of additional NIN enrolment devices underscored the commitment of Coker-Odusote 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 the reduction of time spent by applicants but has also increased the number of applicants attended to daily,” Adegoke added.

He said the NIMC DG has also sent out monitoring and evaluation teams across various centres nationwide to ensure a smooth running of enrollment and modification exercises.

He stated that the team would also ensure strict compliance with Coker-Odusote’s zero-tolerance stance against all forms of extortion and unethical practices.

Adegoke quoted Coker-Odusote as stressing that her administration will not condone extortion of applicants and has since directed that any staff found wanting will be dealt with in line with the provisions of the constitution and extant Public Service Rules.
