In December 2020, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) set-out to register 100 million people in three years and embarked on a massive registration drive. The plan was to enrol 2.5 million people monthly for the next three years.

Without sounding immodest, NIMC has made great strides on so many fronts in the last three years. From just over 1,000 enrollment centres and 2,000 enrolment devices across the country, NIMC, in partnership with its licensed enrolment partners, now has over 15,000 enrolment centres and over 29,000 enrollment devices deployed nationwide. This is one of the reasons enrolments have increased tremendously, with over 89 million NINs generated successfully.

We salute the transformational leadership of Engr. Aliyu A. Aziz and the entire executive leadership and staff of NIMC on this great feat. This remarkable achievement has shown that with determination, discipline, and commitment, the word impossible loses its meaning.
The journey, without doubt has its ups and downs, challenges and all, but with the support of the right people and partners, NIMC was able to overcome and achieve it set atrge

Seamfix is one of such formidable NIMC partner that played a key role towards success recorded by NIMC, As a software vendor for NIMC, Seamfix delivered the Android Enrollment solution that enabled access and penetration of NIN enrollment to people living in both urban and rural areas. By building the robust and complex enrollment software on mobile devices, Seamfix enabled efficient and high-quality biometric data capture offline and online.

Their expertise and innovative approach facilitated seamless integration with the NIDB, ensuring that every Nigerian citizen could participate in the National Identity programme.

As a licensed enrollment partner, Seamfix deployed a dedicated pool of agents who worked tirelessly to ensure that Nigerians from every corner of the country had the opportunity to register and be part of the National Identity programme. Through their commitment and excellence, Seamfix earned a place among the top ten National Identity database enrollment contributors.

“It is the right of every Nigerian to access public and private services that promote their wellbeing, whether financially, socially, or otherwise,” said Chimezie Emewulu, Group CEO of Seamfix Limited. “Our partnership with NIMC ensured this became a reality for as many people as possible. But we’re not done yet; the mission is for all 200 million people to access this unique identity, enabling a better standard of living for the entire nation.”

On the international level, NIMC today has diaspora enrolment centres in over 40 countries, with more centres and countries scheduled to be added in the coming months.

Seamfix’s partnership with NIMC extended beyond Nigeria’s borders. Recognising the importance of inclusion, they established enrollment centres in different European cities, allowing Nigerians living abroad to participate in the National Identity programme. This bridged the geographical gap, ensuring that Nigerians worldwide could access and benefit from the national identification system.

The commission acknowledged the support of President Muhammadu Buhari throughout the lifespan of his administration. “The support of Mr. President for NIMC goes to show the importance he places on digital identity,” said NIMC Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, Aliyu Aziz.
