The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has greenlit the deployment of extra enrollment systems to bolster National Identification Number (NIN) registration in the country.
The installed systems, now operational in all states, have shown promising results in achieving the set objectives. According to the Head of Corporate Communications at NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, the additional enrollment systems have successfully minimized applicant wait times. This improvement is crucial to ensuring a more convenient and accessible registration experience for individuals across the nation.
One of the key achievements of the enhanced registration process is the notable increase in the daily number of applicants. The deployment of extra enrollment systems has not only expedited the registration process but has also allowed NIMC to cater to a larger volume of applicants on a daily basis. This accomplishment signifies a positive shift towards a more efficient and responsive national identification system.
The decision to bolster the NIN registration infrastructure comes in response to the growing demand for National Identification Numbers, driven by various government initiatives, and the increasing importance of NIN in accessing essential services. The NIMC’s proactive approach reflects its commitment to addressing the challenges posed by the surge in demand, ensuring that the registration process aligns with national objectives and standards.
The strategic deployment of additional enrollment systems is a testament to NIMC’s dedication to continuous improvement. By leveraging technology and optimizing operational procedures, the commission aims to create a seamless and effective registration experience for all applicants. This move is particularly significant as it aligns with broader government efforts to strengthen the nation’s identification infrastructure.
In a statement on Wednesday, the NIMC highlighted the commitment of its Director General/Chief Executive Officer, Abisoye Odusote-Coker, to streamline operations.
The installed systems, operational in all states, have successfully reduced applicant wait times while increasing the daily number of applicants attended to, according to the Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke.
It further disclosed that the DG has sent out monitoring and evaluation teams across various centres nationwide to ensure the smooth running of enrolment and modification exercises.
It read in parts, “The team will also ensure strict compliance with her zero-tolerance stance against all forms of extortion and unethical practices.
“Coker-Odusote has emphasized 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.
“She requests that any applicant extorted should report such incident to the following official channels: phone line 08155015388; 07002255646; email – [email protected]; [email protected].”
The NIMC’s decision to deploy additional enrollment systems signifies a proactive and strategic response to the increasing demand for National Identification Numbers. The positive outcomes observed, such as reduced wait times and increased daily registration capacity, underscore the effectiveness of these measures in enhancing the overall NIN registration process. As the nation continues to emphasize the importance of a robust identification system, NIMC’s initiatives play a crucial role in aligning the registration process with the evolving needs of the population.
Not exactly correct, I sent a close family member to NIN outstation at unizik, Awka today, regrettably she spent the entire day without success, when it got to her turn, after all the antics by the registration officer, the system suddenly hanged and stopped working, from 4.30pm untill 6.20pm when the officer packed up for the day! Every state should have minimum of 100 registration centers, with State capitals taking about 50% of these numbers…!
