The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 frowned at the large crowds at NIMC offices all over the country while it called on the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, to shut down some NIMC offices over non-adherence to COVID-19 protocols.
Many Nigerians have also accused the government of deliberately endangering the lives of the citizens amid the second wave of the pandemic by insisting that telecommunications companies deactivate telephone lines of subscribers who failed to link their phones to their National Identity Number.
