The Commission said this could not have been achieved without the cooperation of all stakeholders, including the general public.
The Head of Corporate Communications of NIMC, Mr Kayode Adegoke, in a statement noted that “the transformational value of a robust and inclusive foundational Identification system in today’s world cannot be overstated.”
The statement added that the commission was committed to keeping the momentum of scaling up and speeding up NIN issuance nationwide for better identification, authentication and improved service delivery.
