Singer, Banky W has lashed out at the Nigerian government for making citizens queue up to get the National Identification Number (NIN) in the middle of a pandemic.

Banky W who described this as “completely reckless, inconsiderate and dangerous”, stated that it is irresponsible to insist on this “mad scramble for NIN numbers” in the middle of the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic.

He tweeted;

In the middle of the pandemic, this is how our Nigerian Government has its citizens queuing up to get their NIN numbers. Completely reckless, inconsiderate and dangerous. Then tomorrow the NCDC will release covid infection rates and say social distancing. This country sha. Kai.

@NCDCgov @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident This is completely irresponsible of us as a country, to insist on this mad scramble for NIN numbers in the middle of Covid’s 2nd wave. People are dying. We should be smarter/wiser/better than this for goodness sake.
