Nigerians React As Federal Government Plans To Replace BVN With NIN

Trixx NG reports that Nigerians have reacted following the plans of the federal government to replace Bank Verification number with National identity number.

This publication reported that the minister of communications, Ali Pantami announced that there are plans by the government to carry out this move.

Nigerians have expressed displeasure in this move, describing it as one of the most useless plans ever.

The most senseless government. If you want to replace BVN with NIN, why not convert the current BVN to NIN and ask those who don’t have to go do theirs. BVN has your biometrics (finger prints and pictures). These old people need to leave office.

They want to replace BVN with NIN? Can't wait for the next Minister of whatever to replace NIN with another made up acronym

I randomly remember when Bashir said Pantami was intelligent for asking 200m Nigerians to register for NIN in two weeks. The intelligent Pantami is now saying they might replace BVN with NIN, I wonder what it means to be intelligent under Buhari led administration.

FG may replace BVN with NIN ~ Pantami.

BVN has been used to checkmate massive corruption by individuals, now the govt. wants to change BVN to NIN.

Are they really fighting corruption?

If they replace BVN with NIN, it means they have gone North Korea..

It means they want to track who earns what, who funds what and if you're making money without them..

They will kill it..

But let us all be Silent, because Buhari is a God..
