The National Identity Management Commission has said all its verification service platforms are functional and accessible to all partners including all security agencies.
A statement by Dr. Kayode Adegoke (Ph.D)Head, Corporate Communications Unit NIMC stated that although the Commission is aware of the purported ”inability of the Police Service Commission (PSC) to access the NIMC verification server” however the NIMC granted verification access to all Nigerian Police formations for the verification of the National Identification Number (NIN).
The statement further indicated that “the NPF, PSC and other security agencies have been enjoying uninterrupted verification services for over five years.”
It further stated that “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 any 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” the statement indicated.
It assured that “NIMC will continue to provide flawless verification services for the purpose of recruitment, security mapping, cybercrime control, and any other security matters.”
It informed that “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.”
“NIMC is committed to providing excellent verification services to the PSC, NPF and all its partners but the terms and conditions inherent must be adhered to for uninterrupted flow of service” it further assured.
