The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy (FMoCDE) have been tasked to urgently address the massive report of extortion of National Identification Number (NIN) applicants following a sustained outcry of citizens. Public Affairs Analyst, Majeed Dahiru gave the charge during an anti-corruption radio program, PUBLIC CONSCIENCE on RADIO, produced by the Progressive Impact Organization for Community Development, PRIMORG, on Wednesday in Abuja. Nigerians on two episodes of Public Conscience on Radio have raised alarm over incessant extortion by NIMC officials in the last four weeks and it will be recalled that a recent investigation by the NewsGuru Newspapers indicted NIMC staff and officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) of colluding to rip-off NIN applications at enrollment center located inside the premises of NIS Headquarters.
