Director General of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Mr. Chris Onyemenam has revealed that the 406 disengaged staff would be facing criminal charges as required by the constitution.

The commission explained that the reason it delayed the sack of the 406 staff despite the court order issued in its favour last December was because it decided to thread the line of caution.

The Director General disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja where he also denied embezzling N30 billion meant for the production of the National Identity card.
He stressed that the case of the affected staff had been handed over to the appropriate authority.

According to him, “It is not true that NIMC has planned to sack or retrench 1,000 workers. However 406 senior members of staff who falsified their service records and thus have been profiting from that fraud, have been formally reported to the appropriate offices for further action.”

He added that, “Embezzlement of N30 billion again is misunderstanding of the facts that has been interpreted to suit the presenter’s purpose. In September 2011 government approved N30.066 billion from the procurement of cards and the accelerated expansion of the back end. And within budgetary constraints, we are very proud of the support we have received “

He revealed that the said money was meant for a period of three years and the commission had already received N17.2 billion out of the 30 billion, adding that N940 million was spent on the redundant staff sacked in 2012.
