The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that normal enrolment services for the National Identification Number (NIN) have been fully restored at all NIMC offices nationwide as its staff have resumed duty.
Recall that the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) of NIMC embarked on a strike citing exposure to COVID-19 and other issues.
In a statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, it noted Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami intervened in the matter.
“Enrolment services were temporarily disrupted when the local chapter of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) of NIMC embarked on an industrial action on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 immediately after their congress.
“However, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami, who promptly intervened in the matter, has assured the workers of looking into their grievances and advised them to empathise with Nigerians especially at this time that linkage of the NIN with the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards is ongoing for the security of lives and property in the country,” the statement noted.
