The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has disclosed that the National Identification Number (NIN) Enrolment Drive at the Ward Level, which officially commenced on Monday 16th February 2026 is still ongoing and progressing steadily across the federation.
NIMC, in a statement by its Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, reiterated that the NIN remains a foundational requirement for accessing critical government services in Nigeria.
The Commission, therefore, encouraged all citizens and residents who have not yet enrolled to take advantage of this decentralised exercise and present themselves at designated ward enrolment centres.
To ensure smooth operations, NIMC urged members of the public to: Check the NIMC website for the nearest designated enrolment point within their ward, cooperate with enrolment officials, provide accurate information during registration, and visit and follow NIMC official communication channels for verified information and updates.
NIMC said it remains committed to achieving inclusive identity coverage nationwide, therefore, called on all citizens and residents to come out en masse to register and obtain their NIN.
