Workers at the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) have embarked on strike across the country. Nigerians who have turned up for the exercise have been left unattended at various registration centres including Lagos, Abuja, Bauchi, and Taraba, among other states.
Information gathered was that NIMC workers refused to attend to the applicants, saying they were on strike to demand better welfare packages from the Federal Government.
According to them, the recent increase in the number of visitors at their office for registration of NIN had caused a lot of stress for them.
Apart from the demand for allowance, they claimed the government does not care about their safety as saying they could get infected with COVID-19 as they attend to hundreds of residents daily without protective kits.
