Countless infractions, unwholesome practices detected in NIN enrolment – NIMC DG
The Director General of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, has said countless infractions and unwholesome practices were detected in National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment and modification processes.
Coker-Odusote in a statement on Thursday added that most of the reports of infraction were done by some of the commission’s Front-End Partners
“On assumption of office, we observed countless infractions and unwholesome practices in the NIN enrolment and modification services. Most of the reports of infraction, upon investigation, were done by some of our Front-End Partners”, the NIMC DG was quoted in the statement signed by her Technical Adviser on Media & Communications, Ayodele Babalola.
She therefore charged the agency’s Front End Partners (FEPs) to be good ambassadors of the commission.
She also warned that NIMC would not spare any of them found engaged in unwholesome practices.
Coker-Odusote said this in Abuja at the opening of a 4-day training for the first batch of newly revalidated Front End Partners, the statement said on Thursday.
The DG assured participants that the revalidation was a management decision to sanitize the enrolment process, while also auditing invoices inherited by her administration on the outstanding debts owed the FEPs.
“I am not exonerating NIMC staff completely but as you may be aware, on different occasions, I led sting operations to some of our offices, where some staff were caught red handed perpetrating unwholesome conducts.
