According to him, the State Head Quaters of NIMC had been experiencing a large turnout of applicants across the State, stressing that there was need to ensure that all Local Government had the required logistics to register the applicants, hence, the intervention of all the lawmakers in the State at providing power supply in all the Local Government Councils serving as registration points in the State.
