Emerging report reaching Page 36 on Monday, indicates that the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has shut down its office in the Alausa Area of Lagos State, due to an uncontrollable crowd, and the coronavirus pandemic.
It was gathered that NIMC shut down its systems, and asked the waiting citizens to return to their respective destinations.
It would be recalled, that the Federal Government recently gave Nigerians a two-week ultimatum, for the registration and linking of their National Identity Numbers, NIN, to their mobile numbers; failure of which they would risk having their sim cards blocked.
