According to the NIMC, NIN enrolment was ongoing across all the centres in Nigeria.
Mr Adegoke stated that only ID cards officially issued by NIMC or authorised partners are legally valid.
Mr Adegoke said the NIMC devised the framework with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to improve passport services through the timely verification of NIN.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, gave the directive for the implementation and commencement of the exercise in December 2020.
The disruption was said to have been as a result of maintenance by a network service provider of its infrastructure.
Peoples Gazette cannot ascertain if there are modalities to check overcrowding at these new centres as citizens troop out.
