Pantami Orders Probe Of Payment For Digital Identity Number by AdolfAboki(op): 8:02pm On Dec 19, 2020

…Says it’s complete free

The Federal government has frowned at the extortion of applicants for the Digital Identity Number by some enrolment staff of the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC and advised that such act should be stopped henceforth.

The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Pantami who issued the directive in a statement on Saturday advised the applicants to resist such request as the Federal government is already bearing the cost of the registration.

He insisted that the Digital Identity Number is completely free for all Nigerians and legal residents with Resident Permit from the Nigeria Immigration Service.

“It has been brought to the attention of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, that some applicants for the Digital Identity Number alleged that they are being asked to pay for the service.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Federal Government is bearing the cost of the registration process.

“As such, the Digital Identity Number is completely free for all Nigerians and legal residents with Resident Permit from the Nigeria Immigration Service.

“The Digital Identity Number is the right of every citizen, based on the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Act 2007,” he explained.

Consequently, the Minister said he had directed the Director-General of (NIMC) to investigate these allegations with a view to bringing the perpetrators, if any, to book.

“The Director-General will also provide a platform for such allegations to be reported.”

The Minister who commended the Management and Staff of NIMC for carrying out their assignment conscientiously during, and even outside, working hours said he is working daily to ensure the conditions of service and welfare of the staff are favourable.

“The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy is committed to creating an enabling environment for all Nigerians and legal residents to obtain their Digital Identity Number,” said Pantami.

Probe only ends in paper. This country is really a joke and mediocre.

I accompanied my girl to enroll, the collected #500 saying its for fuel. Though the first place we went said its #1000 for form and #500 for fuel.

Useless people.... I remember contributing 100 naira to buy petrol when I wanted to do mine at one local gov't in lagos....those people will always have an excuse to collect money from the applicant and you won't have choice other than to pay.

When you go there for the original slip, they will still tell you that paper is not available to print it.... Gov't should also provide everything they would need at the center and also visit all center often to know the challenging they are having. Issue like this is the problem for me not to have a voter's card till now

What manner of leaders do we have.....in other countries they would have carried out a sting operation and gotten some arrested to act as deterrent to others.....

How does this plain talk solve anything...

Our leaders just don't want to do anything reasonable to move this nation forward
