The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the smooth management of data processes in the registration of Nigerians under the National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment scheme.
Reacting to concerns in some quarters over the smoothness of the process, NIMC, in a Statement signed by its Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, affirmed that the process of enrolment, verification and authentication, modification of data and other services are going on seamlessly on the Commission’s portal.
The Commission, however, implored Nigerians who are yet to link their NIN to their Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Cards, to do so before the deadline of September 15, 2024.
It assured that it has put efforts in place to ensure Nigerians, both at home and in the diaspora, are enrolled, by opening up over 10, 000 NIN enrolment centres across the country and in the diaspora for the process.
NIMC encouraged NIN Holders and applicants to make inquiries on NIN enrolment centres, processes and procedures for NIN Data modifications, NIN Verification issues and any other inquiries, on nimc.gov.ng
“Nigerians and legal residents can visit any of the centres to enroll and be issued the NIN. This assurance is given in light of the 14th September 2024 deadline for the NIN-SIM linkage.
“NIMC also wishes to inform Nigerians and legal residents that any applicant who wants to modify his or her NIN data can do so through the NIMC Self-Service portal – self-servicemodification.nimc.gov.ng (Terms and conditions apply)”
