The staff of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has suspended their strike.
Asekokhai Lucky, president of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), NIMC unit, confirmed the suspension of the strike to journalists on Friday in Abuja.
He said the strike was suspended after a meeting with representatives of the federal government where it was agreed that the demands of the employees would be addressed.
He said the staff of the commission across the country has been contacted to resume enrolment of citizens for national identity number (NIN).
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had asked all telcos to disconnect the SIM cards of persons who have not integrated their national identity numbers (NIN) with their phone lines by the end of January.
