Funds delay issuance of National Identity Cards



     National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, says it is working hard to address the challenges associated with the delay in issuance of the new National Identity Cards to Nigerians.

   Director-General of the commission, Aliyu Aziz, told newsmen in Abuja that paucity of funds was delaying the production and issuance of the cards.
   Aziz said the commission had been inundated with complaints about the delay and that the complaints were from Nigerians who had registered long ago but were yet to be issued with their permanent identity cards.
   He explained that the commission has facility to register as much as three 300 million citizens in its data base, even as he assured that the commission is exploring avenues to expand its scope and capacity to be able to deliver faster and more efficient in meeting the expectation of Nigerians.
