The Director General of the National Identity Management Commission, Aliyu Aziz, says the commission has so far captured 89 million persons in the ongoing nationwide National Identity Number enrolment.
The DG disclosed this on Thursday at a press conference in commemoration of the 4th Identity Day, which is to be celebrated on September 16, in Abuja According to him, the total represented an additional 82 million when compared to the seven million he met when he assumed office in 2015. He also noted that the commission was currently partnering with traditional institutions and their leaders to reach out to the grassroots people who were yet to be enrolled.
Aziz said, “The 89 million are the mainstream people. There are all the local people in the market, villages, nooks and crannies that have not been enrolled. So, we are partnering with the traditional institutions.
Clueless policy. It's a waste. They don't know what to do with these data.
