NIMC registers over 60 million NIN

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has disclosed that more than 60 million unique National Identification Number (NIN) have been issued and are now in the National Identity Database (NIDB).

NIMC said it could not have been possible without the cooperation of all stakeholders including the general public.

The Head of Corporate Communications, NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, in a statement, yesterday, said the transformational value of a robust and inclusive foundational ID system in today’s world cannot be overstated.

He said as a Commission, “we’re committed to keeping this momentum of scaling up and speeding up NIN issuance nationwide for better identification, authentication and improved service delivery. It is the Primary Identification for all citizens and legal residents.”

While appreciating the Minister of Communications & Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami for his invaluable leadership all other stakeholders, and partners, reminded Nigerians that NIN is their Identity.

“Enrol Once and be Identified for life,” Adegoke stressed.
