yama80: Hi
We are still waiting and praying!!but in de meantime here is a read 4 you culled 4rm Leadership Newspaper:

Over 158,000 graduates have applied for vacant positions advertised in the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). The commission had advertised for positions at its enrolment centres across the states of the federation. The exercise is aimed at giving Nigerians the opportunity to register for the biometric identity system.

Sources close to the organisation’s head of Human Resources Department said that the external consultants appointed to manage the recruitment process had submitted the full list of the applicants and were screening them for possible interview.

The sources said a computer-based test would be administered to the shortlisted applicants before the principles of merit, federal character, catchment area, and spread are applied. The preliminary report of the consulting firm also showed that there were from 100 per cent to 1,000 per cent over- subscription in each of the over 94 job functions advertised.

It was gathered that the number could have been more had those who had difficulties in filling the form been able to do so before the close of the application. The online application system is a test process which was adopted to deliberately test the IT usage and competency of the applicants.

Those who are unable to fill the simple online application form might not be able to sit for the test, let alone pass the computer-based aptitude test, so it will be difficult to employ them now that the commission is in a hurry to kick off the nationwide enrolment process come April 2013.

December 2013 is the projected timeline given
by President Goodluck Jonathan for the
delivery of the National Identity Management
Systems (NIMS), which will harmonize all the
data drawn from all ministries, department
and agencies (MDAs) of government and,
above all, manufacture a National
Identification Number (NIN) for every
Nigerian. The Chairman of the National
Identity Management Commission (NIMC),
Barrister Chris Onyemenam, in this interview
with LEADERSHIP’s Joshua Uma, reflects on
the journey so far, the challenges and
achievements.
Tell us about the Commission?
The National Identity Management Commission
(NIMC) Act 2007 provides for the establishment of
the Commission, its functions and powers, the
establishment of the National Identity Database,
assignment and use of general multipurpose cards,
the National Identification Number (NIN) and the
harmonization and integrations of existing identity
databases.
In addition, the Act also provides the Commission
with powers to make regulations connected with its
functions. National Identity Management
Commission Act 2007 includes the repeal of the Law
that created the former Directorate of National Civic
Registration (DNCR) and the transfer of its assets and
liabilities to the NIMC.
NIMC Act number 23 of 2007 also allows the NIMC
to execute the following in line with the Commission’s
objectives: to register persons covered by the Act; to
assign a unique National Identification Number
(NIN) to registered persons; to issue them with
General Multipurpose Card (GMPC); to integrate the
existing Identification Database in Nigeria.
On September 28, 2011, the Federal Government
approved the sum of N30.066bn for the
implementation of the National Identity Management
System (NIMS) and, one year after, the project has
not taken off as many Nigerians have not been
captured in the exercise or issued the National
Identification Number or the General Multi-purpose
Cards; what do you have to say on this?
Indeed, yes. The enrolment exercise has since
commenced with the landmark enrolment of Mr.
Olushola Amurawaiye on February 23, 2012.
Equipment for this purpose have been deployed in the
seven pilot states of the federation, namely, Lagos,
Bayelsa, Rivers, Bauchi, Kaduna, Enugu State and
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with full enrolment in
the NIMC Corporate Headquarters, Central Bank
premises, Presidential Villa. Our FCT Office located is
on the third floor of the ITF (Industrial Training
Fund) building in Maitama, Abuja. By end of
November, about 10 enrolment materials will be
delivered to each state of the federation.
Given the December 2013 projected timeline
to deliver on NIMS, what has been the
achievement so far by the Commission?
Quite a lot has happened; in fact, the Commission has
recorded amazing progress and is indeed ready. Most
importantly is that the back-end infrastructure, which
is central to the delivery of the NIMS project, has
been fully delivered and it is fully operational.
Meanwhile, the components for the front-end which is
managed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiative has reached advanced stages of deployment
in over 20 states nationwide.
How far has the Commission been able to
harmonize and integrate the identity
databases of government agencies?
Well, over 14 MDAs already have their databases
integrated. However, the integration mandate is an
ongoing activity. For example, the Federal Road
Safety Corps (FRSC), which is on the board of
National Identity Management Commission, is
currently capturing and collecting data from
motoring Nigerians and non-Nigerian citizens.
Essentially these data will ultimately be handed over
to NIMC for management.
How will similar data being captured from
other government agencies be integrated into
or with NIMC?
The National Identification Number will connect and
integrate all the various databases of stakeholder
agencies when fully deployed. In most cases, there will
be no need for any further biometric data capture by
the other agencies.
Like in the previous times, do I need a
physical card for identification?
You can assert your identity with or without a
physical card. However, a chip-based national identity
card will be issued to you after the NIN has been
generated. Depending on the level of identity
assurance required for a particular transaction or
instance, an individual’s identity will either be
checked visually by comparing the picture on the
identity card with the facials, or through entry of the
NIN or biometric into the web-based facility, such
that the prior stored information on the individual
can be used to confirm his/her identity. A Match-on-
card can also be used; this involves comparing live
fingerprint with fingerprint on the card by the use of
a Card Access Device.
What process is in place for the issuance and
distribution of ID cards?
The Front-End Partners (FEPs) are responsible for
personalization and issuance of the ID cards.
However, to ensure rapid and efficient service
delivery, third-party postal services, as necessary,
would be utilized. It is expected that most cards will
be collected at the enrolment centre by the owner
because of challenges due to lack of proper addresses.
The important thing though is that you can track your
application through the third-party contact centres.
The entire process involved in the exercise is
labour and capital intensive, yet some of your
workers were declared redundant, why was
that?
Some of the NIMC bloated workforce were declared
redundant due to the federal government policy on
the Civil Service Reform of 2006 that requested all
civil servants to improve their educational
qualifications. In line with this government directive,
NIMC, after taking over both assets and liabilities of
the defunct DNCR, inherited a bloated staff, mostly
junior officer cadre strength that is too big to manage
in an IT-driven commission.
After carrying out a personnel audit in 2011, it was
observed that only 500 workers had acquired
additional qualifications and were all cleared and
absorbed into the system.
Also with the establishment of NIMC and the
Governing Board, the Board approved a new structure
that had room for only Nigerians with a minimum of
first degree or HND as the entry qualification to the
NIMC.
Recently, the Commission sacked over 4,000
of its workers nationwide, and considering
the importance of the project and the
December 2013 timeline, how does the
commission intend to get the personnel to
man the state offices and the registration
centres in the 774 LGAs?
Basically, 2013 timeline is sacrosanct; we are all
geared and focused on that dateline and, by the
special grace of God Almighty, NIMC will deliver. On
the necessary manpower, recall that the enrolment
process shall be infinite, that is, there shall be no
deadline of the enrolment exercise, like the previous
exercise. However, the existing or remaining staff has
been adequately trained to man all our operational
locations pending the recruitment of capable hands
into vacant positions nationwide, largely because our
current staff strength will not be able to handle the
magnitude of work on ground.
Can you explain what stages and processes
that are involved in the roll-out?
Yes, there are basically three stages and processes
involved in the roll-out are: proof of concept; pilot in
six states of the federation for a period of time and
live production.
Finally, can you tell us where the locations for
the pilot exercises are?
Yes, the pilot locations are in the Federal Capital
Territory, Bayelsa, Bauchi, Enugu, Kaduna, Lagos and
Rivers states.
