Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, has described the ongoing registration of the National Identity Management Commission in the midst of the second wave of COVID-19 as “the most irresponsible act of governance” on display in the history of Nigeria.
The organisation described the exercise as a display of total disregard for the lives of citizens to expose them to the vagaries of coronavirus without any form of protection under these terrible conditions.
The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, expressed these views in a statement issued on Friday entitled: “NIMC registration amidst COVID–19 irresponsible.”
Newsmen reported that the Federal Government had, on December 14, 2020, ordered telecommunications firms to disconnect telephones lines of subscribers who failed to link their National Identity Numbers to their subscriber identification modules.
