Bisoye Coker-Odusote, acting director-general of the
National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has advised Nigerians not to
engage third-party services for their National Identification Numbers (NIN).
She also said they should not offer bribes to NIMC officials
to expedite NIN registration or modifications.
Coker-Odusote noted the importance of adhering to proper
procedures established by NIMC.
She said the commission is committed to ensuring that all
registration processes are carried out seamlessly and in accordance with
existing laws and regulations.
“We have a
responsibility to safeguard the integrity of the NIN modification process and
to protect the rights of every Nigerian citizen,” she said.
“Engaging third-party services or paying bribes compromises
this process and is against the law.”
She urged Nigerians to resist any extortion attempt, adding
that the call for transparency and compliance aligns with the federal
government’s anti-corruption campaign.
“National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has zero
tolerance for corruption,” she said.
“We are fully committed to upholding the highest standards
of ethics and integrity in our operations.
“All complaints should be sent to complaints@nimc.gov.ng.
“We encourage the public to report any unethical practices
they encounter during the NIN modification process.”
She also reiterated the commission’s dedication to
maintaining the security and credibility of the NIN system while safeguarding
the interests of Nigerians.
