Nigerians have expressed displeasure to this decision, describing it as one of the most senseless plan ever. See reactions below:

@ImohUmoren: They want to replace BVN with NIN? Can’t wait for the next Minister of whatever to replace NIN with another made up acronym

@antigravitylite: The most senseless government. If you want to replace BVN with NIN, why not convert the current BVN to NIN and ask those who don’t have to go do theirs. BVN has your biometrics (finger prints and pictures). These old people need to leave office.

@spunkynigga: *After linking BVN with NIN and u woke up to a debit alert of 20k for federal road construction*

@SodiqTade: I randomly remember when Bashir said Pantami was intelligent for asking 200m Nigerians to register for NIN in two weeks. The intelligent Pantami is now saying they might replace BVN with NIN, I wonder what it means to be intelligent under Buhari led administration.

@MaNnYvarT: BVN with NIN Sincerely this Govt, are too senseless, as e dey do me like this if una start, I go start dey save my money back for “KOlO“..
I no get time for Lori iro.

@ChinaksChris_ : FG may replace BVN with NIN ~ Pantami.

BVN has been used to checkmate massive corruption by individuals, now the govt. wants to change BVN to NIN.
Are they really fighting corruption?

Werey lo poju ninu government.

@_SirWilliam_: If they replace BVN with NIN, it means they have gone North Korea..
It means they want to track who earns what, who funds what and if you’re making money without them..

They will kill it..

But let us all be Silent, because Buhari is a God..

 @JackObinyan: Trending topic is FG’s proposed replacement of BVN with NIN, my take? Absolutely brilliant…Let’s do same with PVC, it should be scrapped and replaced with NIN, in developed countries people vote with Passports or National IDs. Too many databases in Nigeria.

@Updateboyx: Replacing BVN with NIN sef na waste of time. Make dem kuku change ham to SSN kama file benefits lor loku
Kilokaniruawayi a ni time rara.
