President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has come under attack over the compulsory registration of self-certification forms.

The Buhari-led government had on Thursday ordered that all Nigerians with account holders in any financial institution must obtain, complete and submit Self–Certification Forms.

The forms are required by the relevant financial institutions to do due diligence procedures in line with the Income Tax Regulations 2019.

This development has led to criticisms from Nigerians on Twitter, accusing the government of always making life difficult for Nigerians.

Some Nigerians queried the importance of BVN and National ID card, if every account holder needs to fill out a self certification form in the midst of pandemic.

@Omojuwa “ Na you do National ID card, na you do SIM registration, you even did Bank Verification Number to align accounts but you are here again talking “Self-Certification. Even if you are confused about running government, can you at least pretend not to be confused?
