The federal government may suspend
the ongoing National Identification
Number registration .
This was made public on Monday by
Dr . Olorunnimbe Mamora , Minister of
State for Health .
He said the decision is as a result of
the rise in the number of Covid - 19
cases in the country.
As at yesterday, 100 , 087 cases have
been confirmed by the Nigeria Centre
for Disease Control ( NCDC ) . 1358 are
reported dead since Coronavirus
stormed Nigeria on February, 2020.
Also , about 80 , 030 persons have been
treated and discharged .
On Sunday 10 , 2021 , NCDC confirmed
1 , 544 new infections of the Coronavirus
( COVID - 19 ) in the country .
This however is a wake - up call to all
Nigerian that Covid - 19 is real . In other
to stem the spread , Mamora while
playing host on Channels Television ’ s
Sunrise Daily programme today , said it
would be wise if NIN enrolment and
registration is suspended .
His words : “ I don ’ t feel good looking at
the picture where people are gathered
in multitude; it ’ s like a super - spreader
event which we don ’ t like . But I ’ m also
aware that the relevant ministry which
is the communications and digital
economy is looking at this .
“ My understanding is that the whole
process may be suspended so as to
reorder the whole process in terms of
management of the crowd because it
was never intended that it would
become a rowdy process like that.
“ We have a duty as government to
ensure that people are protected ; we
also have a duty to ensure people
comply within the limit of what is good
for the society at large . ”
