A letter, with reference number NIMC/P/HQ/14662/52, and dated December 9, 2019, addressed by the NIMC management to one of the dismissed workers, who was a senior officer, explained that the termination of appointment took effect from December 11, 2019.

The officer was dismissed after investigations and deliberations by the NIMC Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee, which had earlier invited him on October 24, 2019, over allegations of extortion and illegal printing of the NIN.

The committee said the officer’s actions breached the security and integrity of the NIMC, and therefore directed him to hand over all official property in his possession, including ID card, to the Federal Capital Territory coordinator.

In the letter, which was seen by our correspondent, the dismissed officer was informed that he was not entitled to any compensation from the commission as the termination of appointment bordered on serious misconduct.

Checks by our correspondent also revealed that besides the senior officer dismissed in the commission’s FCT office, some other NIMC workers were also sacked for engaging in extortion and bribery.

An internal memo, dated December 12, 2019, which was addressed to all regional and state coordinators, cluster heads and Enrolment/Registration Centre supervisors, disclosed that two officers in Lagos State, and an Assistant Manager in Kogi State, were also dismissed.

The memo, with the heading, ‘The menace of extortion to the corporate image of NIMC’, directed the supervisors and heads of units to “improve their supervisory roles” and constantly remind the members of staff under their stewardship” of the gravity of the punishment to be meted to any of the staff members involved in any form or shape of extortion.”

I'm glad we are taking a stand against corruption. It's better than not fighting it at all.

God Bless President Buhari

I wonder why a National Identity Card would be worth 5k to obtain with stress joined together.

Abeg is it how it is done in sane countries?

I don't understand!

I registered in July 2018.
It's almost January and I don't even have the printout much more the card.

Nigeria is dead.

All the agencies and departments, all the functionaries and divisions ; all the units charged with responsibilities and every sector of government are chronically irresponsive and in coma.

It's people like these ones that have been sacked that give the system a semblance of life by turning the process into a business ; and remarkably, they deliver - Speedily too.
