Subscribers have called for the suspension of the National Identification Number enrolment due to COVID-19 risks

Consumers under the aegis of the Association of Telephone, Cable TV and Internet Subscribers have called for the suspension of the National Identification Number enrolment due to COVID-19 risks.

The National President, Sina Bilesanmi, in a statement issued on Monday, condemned the mistreatment of its members across Nigeria by the National Identity Management Commission and demanded that the Federal Government suspend the NIN registration, as well as apologise to subscribers.

He urged the commission to go back to the drawing board, call stakeholders meeting for solutions and re-order the enrollment process to avoid large crowds at its centres nationwide.
