The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has said 95 million Nigerians need to enrol for the National Identification Number (NIN) to meet the 200 million targets by 2025.

This was revealed by the Head of Corporate Communications at the commission, KAYODE ADEGOKE, on X.

The NIMC spokesperson noted that following ABISOYE COKER’s appointment as the director-general of MIMC, she recognised the need to streamline the modification and enrolment processes.

He added 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.

He emphasised the convenience of the self-service modification portal, urging Nigerians to take advantage of this innovative solution.

ADEGOKE also highlighted the evolution of the process, noting that in the past, applicants had to visit NIMC offices for data corrections.
