Many Nigeria ns sneered with skepticism at the government's so-called fresh and invigorated effort to issue them with new national identification cards as announced by the National Identity Management Commission recently.
For Nigerians who have suffered a series of disappointments from NIMC, these promises are meaningless. The commission has failed to print NIN cards for millions of Nigerians who endured harsh weather in our blistering sun and freezing cold to register. They were issued with sheets of paper containing their NINs, with the promise that they would receive information on their phones directing them to the point where they would collect the all-important NIN card.
The problem with the NIN project was neither about the multiplicity of the functions of the card nor its security features. It has been the failure of NIMC to issue the cards to millions of Nigerians whose biometrics were collected during registration. Despite the local and international investments in NIN, the cards have not been delivered to the majority of those who provided all the information required.
