The National Identity Management Commission says its verification service platforms are functional and accessible to all partners including security agencies.
This clarification was contained in a statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Kayode Adegoke and made available to Channel Network Afrique, CNA in Abuja.
The statement said, the commission is aware of the unfounded claims of the PSC of its inability to access the NIMC verification server which is not only misleading but inaccurate.
“The National Identity Management Commission wishes to inform the general public that all its verification service platforms are functional and accessible to all partners including all security agencies.
“Furthermore, the Commission is aware of the purported ”inability of the Police Service Commission (PSC) to access the NIMC verification server.”
“This information is not only misleading but also inaccurate.
“To set the record straight, the NIMC granted verification access to all Nigerian Police formations for the verification of the National Identification Number (NIN).
“The NPF, PSC and other security agencies have been enjoying uninterrupted verification services for over five years,” the statement said.
According to the statement, NIMC has provided top-notch verification services for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force, as conducted by the PSC and at no time have there been complaints or issues regarding NIN Verification by the NPF or PSC.
“The Commission has a robust and harmonious working relationship with the Nigerian Police Force and the Police Service Commission.
“The Information Communications and Technology (ICT) department of the Nigeria Police Force is actively managing the long-standing verification and integration service between the NIMC and all Nigeria Police formations.
“NIMC will continue to provide flawless verification services for the purpose of recruitment, security mapping, cybercrime control, and any other security matters.
“The framework by which NIMC provides services to the security agencies was recently restructured for standardization and effective implementation, following consultation with the Office of the National Security Adviser, and NPF has confirmed the verification services have continued to be available.
“We therefore believe that any service interruption experienced by PSC may be due to internal matters,” the statement added.
It however, noted NIMC’s committed to providing excellent verification services to the PSC, NPF as its partners with the terms and conditions inherent fully adhered to for uninterrupted flow of service.
