NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (NIN)

In continuation of our introductory posts on the National Identity Management System (NIMS), we would like to introduce the concept and the procedure for the assignment of a National Identification Number (NIN) to individuals who have been successfully enrolled into the National Identity Database.

National Identification Number (NIN)

The National Identification Number (NIN): These consist of a series of digits which serve as an identifier assigned to qualified citizens and legal residents who have successfully enrolled.

It is assigned in such a way that no two persons have the same NIN.

INSIGHT TO BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT

Following NIMC Board approval in 2012, the Business Development and Commercial Services (BDCS) Department was created to leverage on NIMC’s technical and operational infrastructure by creating a portfolio of products and services ready to be offered to the external market; also to manage NIMC’s interactions with clients and revenue generating prospects in the public and private sectors.

THE NATIONAL IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS)

 Resolving a National Challenge

Nigeria, with a population of over 160 million, has a long history of failures in finding an efficient and effective means of citizen identity management.

 This includes registering, populating, issuing a proof of identity, and most importantly updating and retrieving data of citizens and legal residents from a secure database, when needed.

A person’s proof of identity means a kind of reference which can be used to differentiate one unique individual from another. The usual impression is that it is just another ID card or piece of paper on which a person’s name is written.

Here in Nigeria we have various kinds of representation of an individual’s identity; unfortunately most of them can easily be duplicated, making it prone to all kinds of identity fraud e.g. identity theft (impersonation), the ghost worker syndrome, little or no opportunity for consumer credit market system etc, all these issues contribute to the lack of growth and development of the Nigerian economy.

REVOLUTIONISING NIGERIA WITH THE NIMS PROJECT

With the National Identity Management System (NIMS) project in progress, Nigeria has no doubt attained a new profile with the actualisation of the mandate to create a dependable National Identity Database (NIDB) with a valid means of authentication and verification.

Besides the irregular supply of electricity, one of the major shortcomings Nigeria has had to put with as a nation is the inability of its past leaders and government to create a platform for accurate and updatable documentation of citizens data. Although the population of Nigeria is placed at about 170 million, doubt, suspicion and cynicism have cast dark shadows over every census exercise conducted in the country to ascertain a figure. With the new National Identity Management System in place, Nigeria has no doubt recorded a milestone in the global world, because with the exact biometrics and demographics of every citizen populated into the Identity Database, such data would not only have invaluable gains for Nigeria but would aid growth in the various sectors of the economy. The mandate to achieve this was given to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) as recorded in the NIMC Act 2007.
