The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has received presidential approval for 200% salary scale increase for its staff, new condition of service and 25 billion Naria for the upgrade of its infrastructure.
“We are indeed grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for the approval and directives to implement the NIMC Condition of Service and Salary Scale.
“…The NIMC Condition of Service is a comprehensive document that, going forward, would serve, as the machinery through which the Commission articulates and implements its personnel policies and programmes.
“The NIMC plays a critical role that impacts the life of every Nigerian and for persons legally resident in the country.
“In light of the foregoing, it is imperative that the vibrant NIMC staff who are tasked with managing one of the nation’s most sensitive and critical asset are provided with the enabling environment to play this pivotal role efficiently and effectively,” Pantami said.
According to him, securing a N25bn approval from the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for the NIMC to upgrade its infrastructure has led to the rapid increase in the number of enrollments from 41 million to over 60 million in less than a year.
The Chairman, Governing Board of the NIMC, Bello Gwandu and the Director-General NIMC, Aliyu Aziz, were full of praises for the President and Minister for approving this new salary scale increase and new condition of service.
Legal Adviser, NIMC, Hadiza Dagabana, explained that in the new approved condition of service, the NIMC male staff are to get paternity leave and staff from grade level 14 and below will be getting 70% allowance of their salaries.
