COVID-19: NIN registration might be suspended due to large crowd – Minister
Minister of State for Health, Olorunnimbe Mamora, has expressed that the ongoing National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment may be suspended due to the Coronavirus pandemic as the large crowds at different registration centres across the country pose COVID-19 risks.
Mamora stated this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme. According to him, there will be a new approach to the whole process.
He said;
“Nobody feels good; I don’t feel good looking at the picture where people are gathered in multitude. It’s like a super spreader event which we don’t like. I’m also aware that the relevant ministry which is the communications and digital economy is looking at this.
“My understanding is that the whole process may be suspended to reorder the whole process in terms of management of the crowd because it was never intended that it would become a rowdy process like that. So, people may have to wait and be called at intervals to go through the process.
Hmm. In fact you people are so confused, the day this NIN was announced I ask myself, how is Nigeria fighting Covid-19? because I knew what will happen, Now you are just realizing what I saw long time ago. That’s why thus country is backward because our rulers doesn’t think
That will be good news…
Why would you say that you don’t Know it would be a large crowd? Why can’t you consult them in a first place in order to know the date of people that have done it? This administration ehe, nothing to write home about.
It’s better to suspend it indefinitely if the Corona virus is real unless you are just deceiving us.
This government needs to be proactive in their dealings not after happening you will now be looking for a way out or alternative, this is bad.
That’s good development, because this deadly pandemic is dangerous if contracted, you should make provision before another pronouncement.
Thats what they suppose to do, because no matter what they during the nin stuff, they will break the covid-19 rules.
