As part of the federal government's policy for the creation and distribution of new national identity numbers in the forthcoming National Identity Registration exercise, members of theNational Identity Management Commission (NIMC), have commenced an all sector sensitisation campaign in the South Eastern Zone of the Country where the indigen
es are upbeat in their expectation for the project.
In one of the curtsy visits by the project team (NIMC & Pauline Fredericks) to the palace of His Royal Highness, Onyebuchi Ibezim (Ugwu 1 of Amuzukwu Ibekwu) Amuzukwu Autonomous Community near Umuahia, HRH Ibezim and members of his cabinet warmly recieved the Team. After the briefing, HRH lauded the project and enjoined Abians to participate actively in the excercise saying, ‘The NIN project will be a way of capturing the total number of Abians in this country, and will thus aid our census figures in future’, adding that ‘We as grass roots leaders will mobilize the community and ensure that the needed support is given to the NIMC to enable the project start off smoothly.’
The project team also convened a Town Hall Meeting to engage critical stakeholders, the governments and heads of very key civil society groups. The well attended event hosted such high profile groups as the Trade Union Congress Abia (TUC), Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Abia State University, Umuahia, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) Umuahia District, Civil Service Commission, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Center for youth care and Human Rights Awareness International.
Also present were the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), World Bank Primary Health Programme, National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) as well as the Youth Empowerment Value & HIV Aids re-orientation Project and the World Bank Primary Health Programme, Abia State Farmers Cooperative Union Limited among many others.
The National Identification Number (NIN) is a proven universal tool that aids various governments in planning, education and allocation of resources. It also provides cogent solutions to security challenges and aims to bring the menace of Identity theft, fraud and fake IDs to the barest minimum. The NIN will provide an avenue to enhance security and privacy of personal information when dealing with transactions and make it extremely difficult to forge another individual’s finger prints or other biometric information.
Already, the Director-General of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Mr. Chris Onyemenam has assured that the excercise is unique, longlasting and will accommodate 16 year olds as well as capture the identity of all Nigerians from infancy to adulthood and all through life.
He said,“Once the project kick-starts, it will run through our lifecycle and it might even stretch beyond us that is; it will be a continuous project till infinity but for the pilot programme, we want to register people that are 16 and above but pressure will not be on us to register the underage; though is our mandate to register everybody from birth to death.” He elaborated that “We want to capture a minimum of one hundred million Nigerians (100, 000, 000) within the next three years because statics obtained from the National population Commission shows that we have adults of 16 and above up to 90, 000, 000."
Clarifying further, he disclosed that people who are below 16 will not be disenfranchised because registration will be done from birth till death including infants and children. The underage (less than 16) can register and obtain their NIN but cannot demand for card until their 16 years.
