The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has stirred an outcry on social media from Nigerians over the renewal of the National Identity card.
NIMC had on Tuesday said the renewal of the National Identity Card will cost three thousand naira (N3,000) payable through remita.
NIMC disclosed this through its official Twitter handle on Monday, as well as charging the sum of N5,000 for card replacement.
According to the tweet by the Commission, applicants who wish to renew their card can visit any NIMC office with the required documents to obtain their card.
The agency, however, stirred reactions online as some Nigerians took to their Twitter handles to express reservations about the new policy.
Some complained about the delay in the production of the National ID card and wondered why that should not be sorted out before an increment in renewal fees.

However, others queried the renewal of the National ID card after 5 years.
