The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC has announced that it is shutting down all its enrollment centres immediately as the fight against the spread of coronavirus continues.
The commission announced that it has ordered all its centres in Lagos, Ekiti, Ogun, Katsina and Anambra states to shut down.
Recall that new cases were recorded in Lagos State bringing the total number of coronavirus patients in Nigeria to twelve (12) 
This has led to the shutdown of schools and religious places in most states in the country.
The Head, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, said the decision is part of the measures to protect the commission’s staff and applicants.
“Consequently, all enrollment activities, card collection and other identity-related activities are hereby suspended in the aforementioned states until further notice.
“The closure was not intended to create panic but to arrest the spread of the disease, which had become a global threat.
“We regret the inconvenience this might cause the public.”
