This is from someone I know. He did his BVN with UBA around 2014/2015 unknown to him that UBA gave him June date of Birth instead of July.(Day and year was correct) . Unfortunately he did not know.

Fast forward to 2018 he heard Zenith was helping with NIMC registration in Lagos, so he went to their branch in Allen armed with his Drivers Licence and Internatiinal Passport all containing the July date of Birth(The correct one).

Zenith said he must have an account with them before they can help with NIMC Registration.He opened account just because of NIMC. Fast forward to NIMC registration point inside the Bank, he filled the form and when the BVN details came up they said there was a discrepancy. Since BVN was the issue the logical thing was to go back to UBA to correct the mistake on BVN.


After some weeks he went to UBA and the error was corrected in less than 10mins(after presentation of drivers licence) and the lady said it has been rectified that in a few days time all will be alright that its a small thing.

Some weeks later he went to Zenith again for the NIMC, unfortunately the date was still same on NIMC portal despite the fact that the BVN which they source their information from had updated their records.

All this was around Sept/Oct 2018. Fastforward to 2019 my guy spent the holiday season in Abuja then it occured to him to get his NIMC again since this was their HQ.

On 03/01/19 he went to their HQ near FIRS. The lady gave him the form after fingerprint scanning which is the first thing ,so my guy told the lady his issue and the Lady said the date had not yet changed and the lady suggested that he should go and print his BVN details from his Bank and attach it to his form during the NIMC biometric capture and inform the officer so that change can be effected.

My guy ran to UBA close to WUSE Market and printed his BVN details containing the right date ,went back to NIMC collected form from thesame lady filled it , another Lady checked it and put serial no on it for capture so he can queue.

When he got to Capture and the Officer noticed the discrepancy despite the attached the BVN printout the Officer said he should go to the main hall and see a woman there.

My guy saw the woman explained to her , even showed her International Passport then the woman said its 15000.00. The woman said it was free before but that a new memo came out yesterday(02/01/19) saying 15k must be charged for date of birth corrections.

All my guy said prophetically was " we will speak to the Government" and as God will have it someone has brought this to Nairaland.

This is to confirm that what the first Poster said was nothing but the truth.

WE ARE THE ONE THAT CAN CHANGE THIS COUNTRY
AFTER ALL THE STRESS THEY SAY BRING 15K AGAIN. IS IT A SIN TO BE A NIGERIAN?

This is a rip off on the citizens

Who wrote the memo?

Why can't we throw people out of power if they don't serve us well? Treating the country like their personal ATM

U can register or edit your Nimc info for free.
Walk into any zenith bank as ask for NIMC registration stand or official....

OGA you are not right I'm afraid. Zenith bank is not NIMC they just provide an office space for them ,the staff there works for NIMC not Zenith.

First: I didn't say zenith bank is NIMC.
Secondly....I said walk into zenith and ask for the NIMC official or NIMC stand.
Thirdly: I didn't say the staff of zenith bank work for NIMC.

Instead of u to read and comprehend my message .... U rather choose to talk in a hurry....hence exposing the loop holes in your reasoning and comprehension....

Oga....currently some female staff of zenith have been trained to handle the NIMC job function....they are only awaiting deployment and set up configuratution of the specialized NIMC computer systems.

So yes....zenith work for NIMC

I believe we can make our points without resorting to insults.

- I did not say you said Zenith bank was NIMC.

-I made that point to establish the fact that this is an
NIMC operation , a registration point somewhere in a bank (not even their state office) cannot controvert what obtains at NIMC HQ in ABUJA except that registration point has more Powers than the HQ or there is something wrong with the HQ.


-Also the fact that a staff of Zenith Bank has been trained to handle NIMC job function does not automatically confer on them the authority or means to edit date of Birth and even if they had such powers which I doubt they have, they have not yet been deployed so as it is now the status quo remains. However if Zenith staff can have such powers then the NIMC staff at the Zenith Bank my friend went to would have done it for him dont you think?

We just want things done the right way.

You are not entirely right sir. Check the memo uploaded above. Payment is demanded to effect corrections.

NIMC has right to charge any amount for their services. Nigerians were beginning to abuse that FREE CHARGES offer.

Did u connect to the story by the Op?

What NIMC is doing does not make sense.

The nimc staff probably didn't understand better how the charges work..the 15k is for those that have registered for national ID before with wrong dates and want to change it, it's not for those that have not...since the person in question have gone back to edit his BVN info and have not registered before, what the staff supposed to have done was to direct him to the head office in the state for proper registration cos It takes time for the BVN info to update on the national database( another misnomer that requires upgrade)....

The problem here is from the mgt of the organisation for not training and retraining their staff on best practices

agabusta:


If u connect to the story by the Op, it does not make sense.

My thoughts as well. He claimed he was refused NIMC registration because of bvn age details. He went to correct his bvn details. Went back for the NIMC and was asked to pay 15k to correct the date of birth. What are they correcting when he claimed he was refused registration initially. I don't get it

I am actually supporting the position of the OP. My comment got muddled up.

A lot of people have been complaining about same issue, and all of them can't be wrong.

Kindly note that NIMC obtained people's data from BVN. If you have BVN, NIMC already has your data and has issued NIN (National Identity Number) for you eventhough you may not have registered for the National ID. However, they dont disclose this. They still want people to come to them to regularize the data, it is after then, they will now release the NIN.

Those that are desperate to have the NIN for other purposes, had no option but to pay the 15k to NIMC for processing the DOB correction despite that the error may not be their fault and has already been corrected by the bank that registered them for BVN.

I have the same issue currently and was charged 15k by those same people at zenith oba akran.

funny enough my error is just by a day 26/09 instead of 27/09 and my state changed from edo to bayelsa.

why should we have to pay for someone else's mistake ?

He say she say this.

I said you said this wetin be all this one sef.

Go to the state office in Alausa. It shares same compound with Civil Defence state Hq just opp Shoprite at Alausa, Ikeja.

If you give them your BVN, they will use it to get your details for you.

Please Mafialeader have you been able to resolve it? How Are you going about it.

The 15k charge for the DOB change is official. As a matter of fact, you pay via REMITA and present the slip at NIMC. The main issue is the NIMC has not figured a way of resolving the DOB since they started which I find very embarrassing. I am currently trying to sort this out as I can't renew my international passport without my DOB being corrected on their useless portal.
It is actually very bad as I was introduced to a lady who worked at NIMC, she told me she hoped my issue wasn't a DOB one. Imagine that? Why enforce this NI thing that doesn't have the capability for corrections of errors. Makes no sense at all.
Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? There has to be a way around this
