The Consulate General of Nigeria in New York, which disclosed this, said the move is part of Pantami’s push to have citizens’ private information on the national database.
Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, who was alleged to have links to the Boko Haram terrorists, has announced plans to have Nigerians in the United States enrolled on the controversial National Identity Number database.
Egopija revealed that the consulate received a directive from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enrol its Nigerians living in the United States, according to the News Agency of Nigeria. Egopija recalled that when he assumed office as the consul general a few months ago, he pledged to have regular interactive sessions with Nigerians living in the US to get feedback and update them with developments at the consulate general.
