  As the April 6, 2021 deadline set by the federal government for the linkage of Subscribers Identity Module (SIM) cards with National Identity Numbers (NIN) edges closer, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in a bid to make the process easier and secure, has launched a new Mobile Web Service (MWS) Application and improved National Identity Number (NIN) slips for use by the Nigerian populace.

The Nigerian Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, launched the new service through Engineer Aliyu A. Aziz, the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of NIMC. Reacting to the development, Kayode Adegoke, the Head of Corporate Communications at NIMC revealed that aside from being endowed with a better National Identification Number (NIN) Slip for the use of Nigerians, the NIMC App creates a secure platform for Nigerians and people legally residing in the country to verify and authenticate their identities with the use of their smartphones on-the-go.

‘As an integral part of Nigeria’s digitization process spearheaded by Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, the App offers a built-in harmonisation process that allows for its use across other government services including FIRS, FRSC, NHIS, NPF, and NCC to mention a few. On the other hand, the new improved NIN slip is pocket friendly and easy to verify and can be accessed via a self-service Portal, where persons who already have been issued the NIN, can log in, pay a small token fee, download a PDF of the document in colour (if preferred) print and laminate as desired. The current NIN Slip will remain valid and gradually phased out. The NIMC App is available on the App Store for IOS users and Google Play store for Android users. The improved NIN Slip can also be downloaded via https://dashboard.nimc.gov.ng.’ Kayode Adegoke

I am a Lion, I love to hit heights that seem impossible so I can motivate others and prove doubters wrong. For me, impossible is nothing. I'm open to learning and I love to read, travel and meet new faces.
