National Identification Number Mandatory from September
1, 2015 - NIMC
The issuing authority for National Identity, the National
Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has put 1st September, 2015 as
commencement date in which all transactions involving the identification
of individuals must be done with the National Identification Number (NIN).
The
Commission is therefore calling on all Nigerians to avail themselves the
opportunity of enrolment into the National Identity Database and be issued a
National Identification Number (NIN), which is the single version of truth and
the foundation identity. NIMC had in recent Newspaper advertorials between 27th
April– 4th May, 2015, stated that the use of NIN shall become mandatory as from
September 1, 2015, for all transactions offered by applicable government
institutions.
