The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has been urged to create more registration centres in Bayelsa as a result of its peculiar geographical terrain of the state.

Some residents of Yenagoa gave the advice on Friday even as they lamented the strike embarked upon by NIMC workers nationwide.

For many of them, the establishment of more registration centres in Bayelsa was necessary to ensure bonafide citizens of the country are captured on the nation’s Identity database.

On Friday, the office of the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, was sealed with many anxiously waiting to be captured and registered on the national data.

According to the NIMC, Bayelsa State has 15 data – capture registration centres.

For many, the number is grossly inadequate for a population of about 3.8milion people, who live mostly in distant riverine communities.

The NIMC registration centres in Bayelsa State have been flooded by people in the last couple of days after the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, announced its plans to block all mobile SIM cards not linked to National Identification Numbers, NIN.
