In the released statement, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote disclosed that the NIMC, under her leadership, conducted a comprehensive revalidation exercise to assess the outstanding payments inherited by the new management. The aim is to clear the debts after a meticulous audit process to validate the claims submitted by the FEPs.
During the audit, discrepancies were identified as some invoices from the FEPs did not align with the enrolment figures stored in the database. This prompted the revalidation exercise to ensure the accuracy of the enrolment information. While the audit process is nearing completion, the activation of the FEPs will be carried out based on the validated results.
Coker-Odusote expressed sympathy for the partners affected by the delay and appealed for understanding, highlighting the challenges inherited by the new NIMC management, which has been diligently working to address all outstanding debts. She clarified that the previous administration faced difficulties in clearing the dues due to financial constraints, but the current team is actively seeking funds to settle the debt.
Emphasizing the importance of the revalidation exercise, the director stated that it was designed to streamline the system, ensuring efficient and effective enrolment processes in line with international best practices for securing citizens’ data. She assured concerned Nigerians that payments to the Front-End Partners would be disbursed in the first quarter of 2024 and announced plans for a stakeholder engagement summit later this month.
