Chairman’s Statement

I am delighted to report that 2012 was a year of stellar

performance by the Commission, which recorded

significant progress and growth in realisation of its

corporate goals. The injection of N6.2billion, a part of the

total approved sum of N30.066 billion promised by the

Federal Government, in the last quarter of 2011, provided

the needed catalyst to set the project rolling full steam.

Thus the target of the Board and Management to ensure

the commencement and completion

of the pilot phase of enrolment was

boosted by the release of the funds.

Presently, the National Identity

Management (NIMS) Front-End and

Back-End operations are being

implemented aggressively with

significant progress being made in

that respect. The Back-End of NIMS

has a capacity for holding 200 million

enrolments, and a de-duplication

(ABIS) infrastructure with a scalable

record size of 100 million enrollments.

Efforts are now in place to commence

full operations in 2013.

Key milestones of the year under

review include the successful

generation and issuance of a unique

National Identification Number (NIN)

to its first enrolee in February, 2012, at

the NIMC Headquarters. This was not

just a landmark but a giant step in the

path to achieving the vision and mission of the

Commission.

Also during the year, the Commission expanded its

operations across the 36 States of the federation,

including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to accelerate

the biometric and demographic data capture services for

the pilot phase. These registration centers have been

certified and are currently carrying out enrolment

activities in 30 States. In addition, eight (8) designated

centers are being used for pilot enrolment in the FCT. The

remaining six (6) states are currently being set up, but

security concerns have affected the certification of Borno

and Yobe States registration centers, in particular.

The Board takes its governance responsibilities seriously

and so in the course of the year, the Board and its

Committees functioned effectively, providing the needed

policy level guidance and direction. I am pleased to

confirm that the objective to improve and expand our

National Identity Database (NIDB) has been monitored

closely by the Board.

One key value proposition of the NIMS project is its ability

to positively affect the lives of Nigerians especially in the

areas of financial inclusion, provision of pro-poor social

services including job creation. We believe any growth we

record will automatically transform to socioeconomic

development of the citizens. It is with a sense of elation I

announce that the recent expansion to our

State offices has created employment

opportunit ies by opening up

vacancies. Therefore in December,

2012, we started the process of

recruiting eligible personnel to fill

these vacancies. We hope to

complete the process by third

quarter of 2013. This will lead to the

re c r u i t m e nt o f a b o u t 1 4 0 0

graduates.

I sincerely believe that 2012 was a

remarkable year for the Commission

in terms of the significant progress it

has made especially in the areas of

identity management infrastructure

deployment, awareness creation,

and successful rollout of the NIN

pilot scheme in the targeted States.

I want to place on record and deeply

appreciate the unwavering support

of His Excel lency, President

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR. His support has been

crucial in piloting the Commission on the path of

sustainability.

I would like to thank members of the Board for their deep

sense of duty and consistent commitment to the vision

and mission of the Commission. My sincere gratitude

extends to the management team and all the staff for

remaining focused and dedicated. As a result, the Board

remains confident that the Commission will attain greater

heights in the years ahead.

Thank you and God bless us all.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Management and Staff of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), I

present the 6th Annual Report and Audited Accounts of the Commission. I am particularly pleased to say that the year 2012 in spite of the difficulties encountered, proved to be a consolidation on the steady progress recorded by the Commission in the previous years. It was indeed a robust year that witnessed the attainment of key milestones with its attendant challenges.

In the course of the year, the Commission focused more on its i m p l e m e n t a t i o n s t r a t e g y, intensified efforts in enhancing operational readiness to enable the deployment of the NIMS Back-End Infrastructure and jumpstart the enrolment of Nigerians for the National Identification Number (NIN) and issuance of National I d e n t i t y s m a r t c a r d . T h e Commission successfully issued its first NIN on 23rd February, 2012, thus enabling the project to proceed to pilot stage.

In order to establish a more efficient workforce to manage the National Identity Management System (NIMS), the Commission embarked on various capacity building initiatives focusing on relevant skill training programmes for its management team and staff. The rationale is to have a wholly indigenous workforce operating and maintaining the identity infrastructure.

The flip side of this was the disengagement of unqualified staff inherited from the former Department of National Civic Registration (DNCR). This expectedly led to demonstrations by affected individuals and negative press. This development

impacted significantly on the project, as the Commission devoted considerable time and effort explaining its actions to various publics, responding to summons from the National Assembly and explaining its action variously to other stakeholders. Thankfully, Management had done its due diligence and had sought and received all necessary approvals from the Federal Government prior to embarking on the restructuring exercise. It was thus possible to present the Commission's position on the issue and regain the

people's confidence in the project.

One positive outcome of the crisis was the opportunity it offered the Commission to tell its story and address the entrenched cynicism carried over from previous project. Thus the Commission seized the moment to enlighten Nigerians and r e s i d e n t s a l i k e a b o u t i t s establishment, mandate and current status of the NIMS project. It utilised several communication channels, including print/electronic media, social media campaigns, as well as road shows organised in some states. T h e re s u l t wa s t h e n e e d e d endorsements of the public, in particular prominent members of the society.

The Commission continues to position itself and strengthen its capacity to commence full enrolment exercise and infrastructure roll out in 2013, hopefully with the support of the concessionaires who currently

have not done anything significant.

Finally, I want to gratefully acknowledge the tremendous support of the President, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim GCON, the Chairman and members of the NIMC Board, the Management, members of staff and our private sector partners, without which the project would have remained comatose. I am particularly endeared by the synergy in work relationships with all concerned and look forward to surpassing the goals set for the coming year.

Consequently, the Commission's mandate can be categorized into four major action tracks, namely:

vi. Harmonize and integrate Identity Databases in Government Agencies to achieve resource optimization; through shared services platform;

vii. Collaborate with private sector and/or public sector institutions to deliver on the NIMS; and

viii. Register births and deaths through specific collaboration with the National Population Commission.
