14 December (SUMMIT Post) -National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has that its enrolment, verification, and other identification systems are working optimally as the National Identification Number (NIN) becomes mandatory to access all government services.
A statement made available to SUMMITPOST, by the Head of Corporate Communications, NIMC, Mr Kayode Adegoke, on Wednesday, in Abuja, restated commitment to the provision of top-notch identification services in line with Federal Government’s effort at providing a reliable, sustainable, and verifiable foundational identification system for all Nigerians and Legal residents.
In a similar vein, NIMC wishes to state that enrollment and issuance of the NIN are free. The Commission has zero tolerance for any form of extortion and, as such, enjoins the public to report any case of extortion to – actu@nimc.gov.ng. Information on all approved fees for other services is listed on the Commission’s website- www.nimc.gov.ng.
Furthermore, NIMC seeks to notify the public that it is aware of the antics of some unscrupulous individuals using its forged document to seek collaboration with state and local governments to collect money to enroll and issue the NIN, especially for students in primary and secondary schools across the country.
The Commission noted that its has not sent anyone nor any organization to enroll Nigerians without the commission mandate.
The commission called on the general public to report such individual or organization to: hadizadagabana@nimc.gov.ng or +2348157691011 (WhatsApp only).
NIMC thank President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami), Management, and the staff of NIMC for their worthy contributions to the unprecedented success of the NIN project.
