NIN Enrollment: Applicants stranded as Anambra NIMC office shuts gate – Official

Nigerians have been complaining of the challenges they face in getting the NIN registration sorted out.

Some Anambra residents, who thronged the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) office in the state on Thursday, have expressed frustration over their inability to be registered and obtain their National Identity Number(NIN).

A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who visited the NIMC office in Amawbia, near Awka, reports that the gate into the office was locked as the applicants loitered around.

Some of the applicants said they arrived at the office as early as 5:30 a.m. with the aim of being attended to early, before going to their workplaces.

Njideka Anumudu, a nursing mother, said she had been visiting the office since last December without being registered.

Mrs Anumudu said she was there on Wednesday and left very late in the evening after she was given a form to photocopy and fill.

The applicant said she was there to submit the form and be registered, but had spent over four hours there as the gate remained locked and no official was talking to anybody.

“The information we got is that they are on strike,” she said.

Jideofor Chukwujekwu said he came from Onitsha after his previous attempts to register at NIMC offices in some local government areas failed, describing the exercise as “unnecessary burden on Nigerians.”

Mr Chukwujekwu said NIMC should have adequate machines and manpower to be able to register all Nigerians before the deadline.

He expressed fears that millions of Nigerians might not be registered before the deadline at the rate the process was currently going.

“It is frustrating and I am getting tired. If they want to freeze our phone lines for not having identification number, let them do so.

“They say they don’t have power supply, they don’t have machines, yet they want to conclude registration this month, “ he said.

Another applicant who pleaded anonymity claimed that due process was not being followed.

An official of the commission who gave his name as Austin refused to give details of what the challenges were, but simply said “we are not working.”

Nigerians have been visiting NIMC offices nationwide to register for their NIN against the directive of the FG that any telephone subscriber whose NIN is not linked to his or her phone number will have the phone number blocked.
