Nigerian singer, Bankole Wellington, also known as Banky W has condemned the Muhammadu Buhari led administration for the long queues at the NIN registration centres in the midst of the surge in coronavirus cases.
Banky W took to his Twitter account to express his disappointment as government look on as citizens neglect the social distancing and safety protocols in their quest to get NIN cards.
He pointed out that the exposure of the people causes a great risk to the many lives out there.
The singer called on the Federal government to tackle the situation and save the lives of its citizens.
“How they can tell us to do social distancing on one hand and then use this NIN madness to expose all of us to covid?
“This is completely irresponsible for the Federal Government and to 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 than this for goodness sake.
“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,” he wrote.

Can we take more pictures & videos of NIN enrollment centers and post them to @NCDCgov @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident. How they can tell us to do social distancing on one hand and then use this NIN madness to expose all of us to covid? We must embarrass them into doing the right thing pic.twitter.com/eRFJsYJo8h
