NIMC frontend partners provide enrolment services on behalf
of the commission nationwide to Nigerians.
In a statement on Wednesday, Abisoye Coker-Odusote, NIMC
director-general (DG), said all enrollment activities at the FEP centres are
temporarily put on hold until the conclusion of the process.
She said the move is part of NIMC’s commitment to driving
operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with the highest standards of
data security among the FEPs.
“The exercise will also ensure seamless NIN enrolment and
provision of modification services whilst it eliminates infractions,” the
statement reads.
“The Commission however wishes to apologise for any
inconvenience encountered at all FEP centres in the process of NIN enrolment
during the revalidation exercise.”
The acting DG said to ensure that the exercise does not
affect the general public, the national identity number (NIN) enrolment, data
modifications, and other NIMC-offered services are ongoing at all the
commission’s centres in the local governments and state offices nationwide.
Coker-Odusote added that the exercise would be concluded in
the shortest possible time while soliciting support for its success.
“NIMC assures the general public that the revalidation
exercise will be concluded in the shortest possible time, as all necessary
resources have been deployed to ensure its quick conclusion,” she said.
“The exercise will also provide an insight into the level of
indebtedness inherited from the past management.
“It is actually the first step towards clearing the backlog
of payments due to the FEPs.
“A list of all the LGAs and state office centres and their
locations where NIN enrollment is ongoing is available on the NIMC website,
www.nimc.gov.ng.”
