NIMC Enrolls 59, 786 Inmates in Correctional Centres Nationwide

The National Identity Management Commission has successfully enrolled and issued National Identification Numbers (NINs) to 59,786 inmates across correctional centres in Nigeria, in collaboration with the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to ensure inclusivity.

This initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aiming to enrol all Nigerians and legal residents.

To date, 74% of inmates have been enrolled and issued NINs, with the remaining inmates to be enrolled in the ongoing inmate enrollment. NIMC appreciates the support of the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Comptroller-General, Mr. Nwakuche Ndidi, and the NCoS management and staff.

Furthermore, NIMC is set to commence ward-level enrollment across the country, a key component of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to strengthen the National Identity System.

NIMC DG/CEO, Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote emphasised that the Commission aims to work with strategic partners to enrol and issue NINs to all Nigerians and legal residents in every ward, ensuring no one is left out.
