The Federal Government of Nigeria has expressed concerns over the throngs of enrolles at offices of the National Identity Management Commission, for National Identification Number registration.

It has therefore urged the National Identity Management Commission to go back to the drawing board and re-order the enrolment process to avoid large crowds at its centres nationwide.

The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora, on Monday, while featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme, said the ongoing National Identification Number enrolment may be suspended over COVID-19 risks.

Mamora, who is a member of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, said the government has a duty to ensure Nigerians are protected at all times.

He said: “I don’t feel good looking at the picture where people are gathered in multitude; it’s like a super spreader event which we don’t like. But I’m also aware that the relevant ministry which is the communications and digital economy is looking at this.

“My understanding is that the whole process may be suspended so as to reorder the whole process in terms of management of the crowd because it was never intended that it would become a rowdy process like that.

“We have a duty as government to ensure that people are protected; we also have a duty to ensure people comply within the limit of what is good for the society at large”, Mamora stated.

The Federal Government through the Nigerian Communication Commission had ordered telecommunications companies to deactivate telephone lines of subscribers who failed to link their phones to their National Identity Number.

It also said telcos subscribers with NIN have January 19 as deadline to link their NIN with their SIM cards while subscribers without NIN have until February 9 to do so.
