The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC has reemphasised that enrollment and issuance of the National Identification Number (NIN) are free.
The Commission also said it 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.
In a statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications of the Commission Kayode Adegoke said Information on all approved fees for other services is listed on the Commission’s website- www.nimc.gov.ng.
The Commission also stressed that its enrolment, verification, and other identification systems are working optimally as the National Identification Number (NIN) becomes mandatory to access all government services.
NIMC also reassured the general public of the provision of top-notch identification services in line with the Federal Government’s effort at providing a reliable, sustainable, and verifiable foundational identification system for all Nigerians and Legal residents.
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.
According to the Commission it has not sent anyone nor any organization to do so as the public is kindly advised to report such individual or organization to: hadizadagabana@nimc.gov.ng or
The Commission also thanked President Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Pantami, Management, and the staff of NIMC for their worthy contributions to the unprecedented success of the NIN project.
