NIMC trains Corps members for nationwide NIN ward enrollment

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.

According to a statement by Kayode Adegoke, NIMC head of corporate communications, the initiative is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s GCFR, 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 120M 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.
