Active youths under the umbrella of Kishi Youth Forum have rallied round and contributed over N140,000 to procure a generator set for National Identify Management Commission (NIMC) attached to Irepo Local Government Area of Oyo State in order to ease the registration of mandatory of National Identify Card.
It would be recalled that federal government had earlier informed Nigerians through Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy to link their mobile number with National Identify Number (NIN) which is usually issued by National Identify Management Commission (NIMC).
Anyone who failed to link his or her mobile number with NIN stands a chance of losing its SIM Card. Athough, the Federal Government has extended the closing date for linking of NIN with mobile number considering the number of people out of 85 million SIM card users who are yet to enrol for NIN.
The Kishi Youth Forum expressed sadness that the local government secretariat’s electricity has been disconnected since 2005 making it impossible for staff to perform certain task and NIMC office to ensure easy free registration of residents.
The Forum said the intention to buy the generator was to put a stop money being paid to get the registration done which ordinarily should be free of charge if adequate facilities were on ground.
The Kishi Youth Forum was led by its Chairman and other members to deliver the newly bought (FIRMAN — Eco3999OES) to the NIMC office.
Registration can be done without much ado as it remains fuel to power the generator.
