She also reiterated that NIN enrolment is free, but card renewal, correction of date of birth, and change of address attract fees.
She sought to clarify that people often misconstrue the demands for payment for these services as a form of extortion or that the NIMC is asking them to pay outrageous fees. NShe insisted that those payments are for services.
Opesanwo further pointed out that the fees are payable to the Treasury Single Account of the Federal Government.
