While noting that Diaspora enrolment has been “greatly received by the Nigerians in other countries and it has been going well since the launch”, the NIMC-DG also disclosed that” enrolment is happening in over 15 countries across the world, with more countries to come on board in the near future.”
Yet, there is a sense in which the achievement might also be seen as modest considering that this is coming 13 years after the principal instrument – the NIMC Act – designed to give the work a new impetus, came into being. Of note is that the NIMC helmsman of course alluded to the problems: that of power, information technology infrastructure, inadequate enrolment centres and devices and insufficient sensitisation and awareness of the public, among others.
Had the NIMC management bothered to ask the telecommunication companies how they managed to undertake a similar exercise – capturing of the biometrics of their subscribers almost seamlessly even in far flung, remote corners of the federation, they might in fact find the missing link in the planning, resource mobilisation and the commitment to deliver on the task.
