Malam Isa Pantami Said Enrolment Exercise For NIN Cannot Take More Than Five Minutes.
~1.7 mins read
Isa Pantami, minister of communication and digital economy, has said the enrolment for the National Identification Number (NIN) should not consume the time of the applicants.
The minister made this known on Friday, January 8, during a programme on Channels TV, adding that the enrolment should not take more than five minutes.
Pantami further stated that prospective applicants can "complete the form virtually without visiting any office."
He, however, said the only condition for visiting National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is because of other important updates into the electronic database like biometrics.

"You can complete the form virtually without visiting any office but there are things that require you (to be there) physically like your biometrics; you cannot submit your biometrics without you (being there) physically.
“Each person takes around three to five minutes to complete the registration and go as long as you have completed your form.â€
While speaking on the large crowds besieging the NIMC offices across the country, the communication minister said 95% of NIN applicants appear at the agency’s offices uninvited.
“All the crowds you have been seeing in Abuja or Lagos, 90 per cent or even 95 per cent of them were not part of those invited to be captured. They only go there and stay outside the gates.â€
NIMC staff suspend strike
The staff of the NIMC have suspended their strike action barely 24 hours after shunning their official duties over alleged poor welfare amid COVID-19 pandemic.

Lucky said the strike was suspended after a meeting between the leadership of the agency and the representatives of the federal government.
According to him, workers of the commission across the country were being contacted to resume work by Monday, January 11, and begin the enrolment of citizens for the NIN.

Senate Faults Plan By FG To Sell National Assets To Fund Budget
~1.4 mins read
The Senate has raised concerns over the plan by the federal government to sell and concession national assets for the purpose of funding the 2021 budget.
The Senate committee on privatisation on Tuesday, November 17, said the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) never consulted it over the issue, The Guardian reported.

Senate faults plan by FG to sell national assets to fund budget
The committee chairman, Theodore Orji said:
“The position of the Senate Committee on Privatization is that we are not aware of the arrangement by the BPE to either concession or put for outright sale some national assets in the country in order to fund the 2021 federal budget."Coronavirus: FG seeks another N285billion loan from World BankThe chairman said the committee has to ascertain whether due processes were followed in the arrangement to sell the assets.
Orji stated that the committee would scrutinise the papers to see whether the proposed sale of the assets is fair or ridiculous.
The panel pointed out that it is important for the assets to be sold to people capable of handling them to avoid a repeat of faulty sales in the past.
The Senate said:
“A good example is the situation we are experiencing with the paper mills. None of them is working again today because I don’t think the people who bought them are capable. If Nigerians who are capable of managing our national assets are interested, let us sell to them at a reasonable price so that nobody would feel cheated.â€Advertisement
