The Minister of State for Health, Olorunnimbe Mamora, has said the continuous National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment might be required to be postponed to check the spread of Covid-19.
In December 2019, the NIMC office at Alausa, Ikeja, shut down as many individuals who needed to enlist for the National Identity Number (NIN) raged its office without following the Covid-19 rules.
Mamora, a member of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 said this on Monday during a meeting on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily program.
“Nobody feels good; 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. 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. So, people may have to wait and be called at intervals to go through the process,” he said.
