since 2012!

This guy should be tendering an unreserved apology explaining why it took 6 years to print these cards!

By the way he didn't state if it is ALL the cards from that time that has been printed.

My guess is that the 300,000 is just a percentage of the number.

Yeye people

Definitely, NIMC is a failed organisation. Imagine 6 years to get ID card. While registering in 2013/014 ( I don't even remember the year again because of overstay), the office had no power and I had to buy fuel for their generator. It was a sad experience.
Something is seriously wrong with us Nigerians. Paper qualification remains a mere name as no effect and dignity that is supposed to follow such qualification is felt anywhere.
Nigeria is indeed a failed nation.

Lies everywhere. The phone I used then is the same number I am still using till date and I didn't receive any message.

If 2012 are collect now, people that enrol this year like me will collect there own in old age

So me that did mine in 2016 will collect it around 2022

4601CE:
Me that did mine in 2015 nko?

We're on the same boat.
Before 2030, it'll definitely be ready

Are they seriously serious?

ID card for 300,000 applicants ready. Not even 2m.

iPods exempted please

Donmoscojaja:

This is very shameful, six years to print I'd card. What a nation

They're using a 14kbps dialup modem

At least that should explain the snail-like speed of processing virtually any government document, and when you complain they'll tell you "no network"

That means we that registered in 2018 will take ours in 2050

Since 2012? Some of the enrollee don die sef.

I Don collect my own since 2017

Hope it's not expired I.D they want carry give people and tell the police to arrest the holder. The director general suppose cover his face in shame.The commission that once chaired by former governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, no wonder we are not moving forward in Nigeria generally

Nigeria just tire me.. means people like me who did it in 2015 na till 2030 we go collect am

MadamExcellency:

They should be privatized. Nothing works in this country.

Meaning that these of us that enrolled in 2014 will be expecting ours in 2020.
OK oh

Send us Sms and email to those that their national ID card are ready for collection.
We filled these informations on the forms.

gr8tone:
This is bizarre. If it were building a church or a mosque, I bet you it would have been done with the speed of light. If it took this long to produce for only thausands applicants, we should expect eternity for over two million applicants. Nonsense change

What is the business of the church and mosque here? Cant u ppl for once hold govt accountable in the affairs of the country without bringing religion into it Was it the church or mosque that asked u to go and register for national id card Tufiakwa

The National Identity Management Commission has said that over 300,000 national identity cards for those who enrolled in 2012 are ready for collection.NIMC Spokesman, Loveday Ogbonna, urged enrollees in the year 2012, up to August 2013 and who were yet to pick up their cards, to do so immediately.

Ogbonna said that those concerned should visit the enrolment centres where they registered and pick up their cards, which had since been printed and ready for collection.

He said that the commission had pasted names of enrollees whose cards had been printed and awaiting collection at various centres, to enable such individuals check and present themselves for card collection.

According to him, some of the people in this category may have changed the phone numbers they used to register, hence they are not able to receive text messages informing them that their cards are ready.

“Applicants who have relocated and want their cards transferred to their current location should visit any NIMC office closest to them to request for a card transfer form.

“They should fill and submit the form to the State Coordinator or Local Government Supervisor for processing.

“This is possible for those who either received text message or confirmed via the list posted at the enrolment centres that their cards are ready for collection. This service is free for now and available at all enrolment centres,” he said.

Ogbonna said that the transfer process was necessitated by a survey carried out by the Customer Care Unit of the commission.

He said that the survey showed that over 300,000 enrolled applicants nationwide were yet to pick up their National e-ID cards.

Ogbonna said that the reasons were because they had either relocated from the locations where they enrolled or had changed the phone numbers they provided at the point of enrolment into the National Identity Database.

“Thousands of registered applicants have changed the phone numbers they provided at the point of registration, and as such, may not have received our card collection notifications, while some persons may have changed location since after enrolment.

”We want to use this medium to appeal to any of such persons to visit any NIMC Enrolment Centre close to them to request for Card transfer,” the NIMC said in a statement.

The third paragraph is not absolutely correct! Most people probably don't go because of the headache caused by the stress they subject people to.
