Nigerian National Identity Cards. Has Its Purpose Been Defeated? by Timika(op): 4:47am On Jul 26, 2017
Following the long time most Nigerians have to wait before receiving their national identity cards, and the fact that many who get to enroll don't get their cards till they transit to the great beyond, do you think that the purpose of establishing the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has been defeated? Have they met your expectations of them? Please share your own experience.

The idea is laudable but financing the NIMC is the problem. I did my enrollment in 2014 and since then I have not seen any card

it has been defeated to me cos some banks e.g firstbank do not take the temporary NIMC

I'm about to write on this, I was at their Lagos office yesterday to check if my card which I registered for since 2013 is ready.
I saw lot of printed card which are ready for collections and was optimistic that mine will be there. I gave them my slip and they check their system and told me it's not ready yet.
I was disappointed that despite registering since 2013, my card is not ready. I've heard of people that registered early this year and have collected their cards.

What they ended up telling me is that I should do a reprint of my slip and that I will be contacted whenever the card is ready. It's a sad story of 4 years.
