Our reporter/ The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) on Wednesday restated that the National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment is free of charge in the country.
The Director General/Chief Executive Officer of NIMC, Engr Abisoye Coker-Odusote, who made the disclosure in Abuja during a 2-day roundtable with publishers of online newspapers in Nigeria, reiterated her commitment to sanitizie NIMC.
“My administration has zero tolerance for corruption. I hereby reiterate my commitment to sanitizing NIMC, in conformity with the mandate of Mr. President.
“Let me also use this medium to remind you all that enrolment for the National Identification Number (NIN) is free of charge in Nigeria,” she said.
The NIMC boss explained that the commission has also become the breeding ground for misinformation and rumours which can severely impact the reputation and trust in organisations.
According to her, the focus of the roundtable was to address the dual role of online publishers as key partners in disseminating accurate information and as potential sources of misconceptions.
“We recognize that while you have the power to amplify our successes, there is also the potential for misunderstandings that can spread rapidly, she noted.
“This roundtable aims to forge a partnership that leverages your strengths to support our mission while ensuring that any misconceptions are promptly and accurately addressed.
“It will create a platform for NIMC to explain our activities and achievements directly to you, ensuring clear communication and mutual understanding.”
