NIMC Plans 200 Million NIN Enrolments Before 2025.

National Identity Management Commission says it is targeting the enrolment of 200 million Nigerians in the National Identification Number system by 2025.

The Head of Corporate Communications at the commission, Kayode Adegoke, who disclosed this on X Space said, over 105 million NIN have been issued to Nigerians and legal residents and assure Nigerians that within the next one or two years, it will reach the target of enrolling all Nigerians, adding that, to reach its target of 200 million enrollments by 2025, an additional 95 million Nigerians need to register.

The NIN, a unique identifier assigned to each citizen, has gained prominence in recent years as the cornerstone of various government initiatives aimed at enhancing security, governance, and service delivery.

The NIMC spokesperson said, the commission remained steadfast in its commitment to achieving universal enrolment in the NIN system by 2025, and following Abisoye Coker’s appointment as the Director-General of MIMC, she recognizes the need to streamline the modification and enrolment processes, and that a self-service platform was developed, enabling Nigerians, both locally and abroad, to make necessary modifications such as changing names, dates of birth, email addresses, and phone numbers from the comfort of their homes or offices, using various devices, including iOS and Android-based devices.

Adegokealso said, the convenience of the self-service modification portal, will enable Nigerians to take advantage of the innovative solution.
