Enrolment for Nigeria’s National Identification Number (NIN) program has reached 117.3 million as of February 28, 2025, according to data from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). This milestone marks a significant increase in citizen participation in the national identification system, which aims to enhance security, improve service delivery, and integrate various governmental and economic processes.
The NIN is a crucial component for accessing numerous services in Nigeria, ranging from banking to telecommunications. This enrolment data highlights the progress and ongoing efforts of the NIMC to facilitate a comprehensive national database that supports identity management in the country.
