Federal government on Wednesday, September 13, moved the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to the Ministry of Interior.
The decision was reached in order to address the intractable problems associated with the National Identity Numbers (NIN) as one of the major conditions for seamless application and obtaining of International Passports and other travelling documents.
NIMC was until now supervised by the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy.
According to a source the process of moving out the NIMC to the Ministry of Interior is being accelerated in line with President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s directive to remove all impediments and bottlenecks from obtaining NIN, and Passports.
