NIMC Relies on World Bank Project to Pay Frontend Partners, Official Reveals

A director and head of business development and commercial services at the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has disclosed that the Commission relies on the World Bank’s Nigeria Digital Identification for Development (ID4D) project to pay its frontend partners (FEPs).

Speaking at a two-day roundtable with online publishers in Abuja on Wednesday, the NIMC director stated, “All our frontend partners get to be paid by the facility that the World Bank is providing.”

The director further explained that delays in receiving funds from the World Bank have impacted payments to the FEPs.
