The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced plans to introduce a general multipurpose NIN card for which Nigerians will be required to pay.
This was disclosed by the Director General of the Commission, Abisoye Coker-Odusote while speaking at a media briefing in Abuja, saying the Commission is not resting on its oars as it would stop at nothing to ensure every Nigerian was registered.
She revealed that the commission is revamping its systems, implementing cutting-edge technologies to upgrade its outdated equipments, and cracking down on fraudsters and extortionists.
She said with the continuous expansion of enrollment centres across the country, the Commission would be in a position to record total registration of Nigerians.
Coker-Odusote, noted that in the next six to eight months, the system, whose capacity presently stands at 100 million, would be upgraded to 250 million.
She further mentioned that the Commission intends to review the prices for its services to improve service delivery to Nigerians, noting that the Commission would prosecute any staff members caught conniving with illegal actors.
