NIMC Reports 122m NIN Enrolment as at July 2025

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) says that National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment in Nigeria has reached the 122 million mark in July 2025, compared to 72.7 million in January 2022.

In remarks delivered at a Roundtable for Online Publishers in Lagos, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, Director-General/CEO, National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) said:

“Since January 2022, when NIN enrolment stood at 72.7 million, we have recorded a phenomenal increase. As of July 2025, enrolment stands at over 122 million and counting. This represents a 49% increase in enrolment rate, which is a clear testament to the progress we have made in just over three years. Monthly, millions of Nigerians are now being enrolled and issued a verifiable means of identification, unlocking access to critical services in education, agriculture, healthcare, social protection, and beyond.”

She added that NIN is now a prerequisite for accessing student loans, farmer subsidies, SIM card registration and social welfare schemes.

“We are seeing unprecedented levels of financial inclusion. Over 3 million farmers and 800,000 students have already benefited from NIN-linked services. At NIMC, we are equally investing in our people. Between 2023 and 2024, a total of 2,327 staff were promoted, 1,395 in 2023, and 932 in 2024, reflecting our commitment to rewarding excellence and fostering career growth.

Additionally, over 1,300 staff members have undergone training and retraining programmes, further equipping the Commission to deliver world-class identity management services.”
