The National President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Dr. Rotimi Oladele had called on the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Management Staff to exhibit willingness and competence in building a robust identity management system.

Dr. Oladele made the call at a Mini Retreat for Top and Middle Management Staff organized by the Corporate Communication Unit at the Commission’s Headquarters in Abuja on the 21st March, 2018.

The retreat was organized to speed up the critical need and use of communication and public relations as management tools and strategies towards delivering the Commission’s mandate.

While noting that the biggest challenge in Nigeria is lack of integrity, Dr.Oladele stated that criminality, fraud, corruption amongst others will lessen if Nigeria gets its identity management system right.

He commended the DG/CEO for the job he has done so far, as the Commission works towards enrolling all Nigerians and Legal Residents into the National Identity Database and issuing them the National Identification Number to ensure a sustainable identity management system.

He however noted that perception is very difficult to change, so individuals who are members of overlapping departments and units must be proactive, preventive and co-oporative in service delivery for the Commission.
“The element of immediacy must be built into service delivery as individual and groups must find a way to work together on their differences. There must be consensual agreement in the interest of the mandate, vision, mission, core values and service delivery,” he stated.

Dr. Oladele urged that, the management must continuously negotiate and dialogue as part of its management function, but most importantly, exhibit willingness, competence and readiness to succeed in building a stronger identity management system.

On his part, the DG/CEO NIMC, Engr. Aliyu Aziz encouraged the top management staff to drive their mindset into being responsible and responsive to the tasks at hand.
According to him, the essence of the retreat is to renew management’s commitment to service delivery in the Commission, enhance effective communication among the internal publics and achieve the 15 set goals of the Commission for 2018.

The Head of Corporate Communications Unit (CCU), Mr. Loveday Chika Ogbonna, while thanking the NIPR President and all participants at the retreat for active participation assured the President that management will ensure that they practice all they have learnt to efficiently deliver on their duties to the Commission.
