NIMC Trains Corps Members for Nationwide NIN Ward Enrolment

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), in partnership with the Ministry of Youth Development and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has commenced the training of selected Youth Corps members to drive National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment to all the wards in the Federation.

This initiative is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda of enrolling and issuing the NIN to all Nigerians and legal residents within the shortest time possible.

NIMC has enrolled and issued the NIN to over 120 million Nigerians and legal residents and, therefore, intends to cover hitherto unreachable areas through the Ward Enrolment initiative. The Corps members selected are currently undergoing intensive training in preparation for the kick-off of the ward enrollment.

Consequently, Nigerians, most especially children below the age of 16 years are by this initiative encouraged to enrol for the NIN in their respective wards. This initiative aims to take NIN enrolment closer to the people.

The NIMC DG/CEO, Engr (Dr) Abisoye Coker-Odusote lauded the immeasurable support of President Tinubu towards the achievements of the NIMC mandate.

She also appreciated the commendable efforts of the Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Mr. Ayodele Olawande and the DG, NYSC, Brigade-General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu.
