President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reappointment of
Aliyu Aziz as the director-general of the National Identity
Management Commission (NIMC).
Abdulhamid Umar, general manager, NIMC operations and corporate
communications, said the reappointment of Aziz was conveyed in a
letter by Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the
federation (SGF).
According to the statement, Aziz’s reappointment is pursuant to
section 7 (3a) of the NIMC act 2007 which states that “the
director-general shall hold office for a term of four years in the
first instance and may be reappointed for a further term of four
years and no more”.
“The President of the Federal Republic enjoins Engr. Aliyu Aziz
to continue with the good work he is doing and take NIMC to the
next level, in consonance with the Federal Government’s doctrine of
integrity, transparency and accountability,’’ the statement
read.
“This re-appointment is in pursuant to the NIMC ACT that
provides two terms tenure for the Chief Executive Officer of the
Commission.”
Aziz’s reappointment takes effect from November 22.
He was first appointed by the president to head the commission
in November 2015 following the expiration of the tenure of Chris
Onyemenam, his predecessor.
