The National Identity Management Commission has said that over 300,000
national identity cards for those who enrolled in 2012 are ready for
collection.NIMC Spokesman, Loveday Ogbonna, urged enrollees in the year
2012, up to August 2013 and who were yet to pick up their cards, to do
so immediately.

Ogbonna said that those concerned should visit
the enrolment centres where they registered and pick up their cards,
which had since been printed and ready for collection.

He said
that the commission had pasted names of enrollees whose cards had been
printed and awaiting collection at various centres, to enable such
individuals check and present themselves for card collection.

According
to him, some of the people in this category may have changed the phone
numbers they used to register, hence they are not able to receive text
messages informing them that their cards are ready.

“Applicants
who have relocated and want their cards transferred to their current
location should visit any NIMC office closest to them to request for a
card transfer form.

“They should fill and submit the form to the State Coordinator or Local Government Supervisor for processing.

“This
is possible for those who either received text message or confirmed via
the list posted at the enrolment centres that their cards are ready for
collection. This service is free for now and available at all enrolment
centres,” he said.

Ogbonna said that the transfer process was necessitated by a survey carried out by the Customer Care Unit of the commission.

He said that the survey showed that over 300,000 enrolled applicants nationwide were yet to pick up their National e-ID cards.

Ogbonna
said that the reasons were because they had either relocated from the
locations where they enrolled or had changed the phone numbers they
provided at the point of enrolment into the National Identity Database.

“Thousands
of registered applicants have changed the phone numbers they provided
at the point of registration, and as such, may not have received our
card collection notifications, while some persons may have changed
location since after enrolment.

”We want to use this medium to
appeal to any of such persons to visit any NIMC Enrolment Centre close
to them to request for Card transfer,” the NIMC said in a statement.
