The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that normal enrolment services for the National Identification Number (NIN) have been fully restored at all NIMC offices nationwide as its staff have resumed duty.

Recall that the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) of NIMC embarked on a strike citing exposure to COVID-19 and other issues.

In a statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, it noted Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami intervened in the matter.

Furthermore, the statement said while thanking Nigerians for their understanding in the face of the challenges posed by the two-day hiatus in enrolment, Director-General of NIMC, Engr.
