The NIN registration was a lot of inconvenience for the public way back about a decade ago when it flagged off. We all left our business and work to go join long queues both at NIMC and at the banks to get NIN registered and linked. Later the telcos asked for linkage and the public all went to do the same thing this time a few got it done online and the majority physically.
Come 2023 the NIMC mgt just woke up and decided to block people's lines and demand the public return to the queues on the excuse that certain elements corrupted the records by registering with people's NINs without their knowledge. So my question is this:

1. Biometric captures were done and saved with the NINs, so who designed a system that allows another person register your NIN without any notification coming to you? Who is the designer of such a software, who selected such a supplier?
2. Even if the registration agents who are contractors started the abuse they can never complete the registration successfully without an insider in NIMC, so who are those in the NIMC responsible for such whether serving or retired, where are they?
3. Why has the NIMC mgt not been held accountable, why is there no news of arrested and prosecuted NIMC staff or mgt or any related govt official related to this development? Why is the consequence always thrown at the public?
4. This is the same thing playing out with fuel subsidy, the govt can't prosecute corrupt and ineptitude officials so the easiest way out is to throw high pump price at the public and everybody goes to sleep
5. Why are people not asking these questions, why is everyone just okay with crass incompetence and mind boggling waste of the scarce resources of the average Nigerian? Now millions of lines deactivated and over 80million bank accounts at risk of being blocked, what is all these?

So the public should go back into the sun to long queues and no one is held responsible, no one

Because in Nigeria anything goes.

Because NIN is just another initial gragra project

The government didn't get all the necessary technologies required for NIN before enforcing NIN on Nigerians.

No well-structured database for the NIN, BVN and SIM registration. That is why a bank can spend more than 30 minutes trying to verify your NIN, a bank that has your phone number and your BVN which are already tied to your NIN.

To buy a SIM card, you need NIN.

To register for NIN, you need a SIM card.

To do SIM welcome back, you need NIN.

Can you see the confusion?
