The National Identity Management Commission has recorded more than 60 million unique national identity number (NIN) in the National Identity Database (NIDB).
The commission made the announcement in a statement signed by Head, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Kayode Adegoke and made available to newsmen.
NIMC thanked the minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, for his leadership, and its other stakeholders for their support.
Adegoke said the feat could not have been achieved without the cooperation of all stakeholders, including the general public. He said the transformational value of a robust and inclusive foundational ID system in today’s world could not be overstated.
“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. Remember, your NIN is your Identity. Enrol once and be identified for life,” he added.
