The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has
stated that its enrollment, verification, and other identification systems are
working optimally.
It also noted that the National Identification Number (NIN)
has become mandatory to access all government services.
It further reassured Nigerians of the provision of top-notch
identification services in line with the government’s effort at providing a reliable,
sustainable, and verifiable foundational identification system for all
Nigerians and legal residents.
In the same vein, NIMC stated that enrollment and issuance
of the NIN are free. The commission warned that it would not tolerate any form
of extortion, warning the public to report any such case to the appropriate
quarters.
NIMC said that information on all approved fees for other
services is listed on its website.
The commission said it is aware of the antics of some
unscrupulous individuals using its forged document to seek collaboration with
state and local governments.
According to NIMC, these individuals do this to collect
money to enrol and issue the NIN, especially for students in primary and
secondary schools across the country.
The commission said it has not sent “anyone nor any
organization to do so,” adding that the public should report such individuals
or organizations doing so.
