Postpone NIN registration deadline for now

WITH the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control announcing that, as of January 14, the country had 105,478 COVID-19 cases and 1,405 dead; it is outrageous that the Federal Government has yet to see the need to immediately suspend the ongoing National Identity Number registration. Its insistence on the exercise is wrong-headed and against national interest.

However, as laudable and well-intentioned as the initiative is, it is indefensible now because credible media reports indicate that citizens are deliberately put at the risk of contracting coronavirus. And this is just in a bid to enforce compliance with a government policy whose implementing agency obviously lacks the funds, requisite capacity and expertise to meet its mandate within the period it is expected to carry out the exercise.

With the country at its wit’s end to contain the debilitating pandemic, currently in its second wave, it behoves a responsible and responsive government that cares for the welfare of its citizens to suspend the exercise. Sadly, this is not happening.

Don't postpone it..block it all..🧐🧐..who will loose d most..😏😏.. there was life before phone and there will be life after phone..mitcheeww..🙄🙄.. Let's even see what will happen!!..enough of been pushed around all the time by this brainless government!!..

Contemptible, the dissonance, befuddlement, bewildering incompetence, enchantment with unreason, lack of emotional intelligence, etc, among Buhari govt officials,... particularly, the moronic sadist, Isa Patami, the Communications minister, who's unfit to be even a LG councillor.

With the 2nd wave of COVID19 raging, & a new variant with high transmissibility abroad, it's insane for anyone, who doesn't wish as many citizens as possible, dead, to even contemplate the NIN nonsense, let alone, order it! If the govt cares at all,..the exercise should be halted

Well written editorial unfortunately we’re dealing with a sadistic, clueless & corrupt regime bent on exposing Nigerians to Covid while stealing available resources! The Dumb regime closed schools but created Covid Super Spreaders Centres aka Ninc Reg Centres! It’s no brainer!

Why this NIN-to-SIM rush, by the way? Where are we rushing to? Check this: BVN rush, PVC rush, TIN rush! After all these 'rushes'; are we better off as a country? What happens to medium- & long-term plans which ensure better stability and sustainability of policies & programmes?

Leave dem now, don’t let them call it off, sabi it’s sim they want to block abi?

If the minister of communications can’t see it & appears inept at his job, the PTF on covid must see that this is crazy. Buhari could pick up his phone , and ask his chief of staff to make a phone call & this madness ends. He doesn’t even have to make the call.

Las Las we go dey write letter to one another

Postpone registration again and still ban simcard retrieval..do you guys reason at all that people loosing simcard everyday and small business trying to build is crashing

Nonsense.

I urge them as an organization to do their worst

nimc_ng yah pple are Sjoking😑
