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 the
National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment in all the wards in the country.

According to a statement by the Head, Corporate Communications of NIMC, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, the initiative was part of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope
Agenda of enrolling and issuing the NIN to all Nigerians and legal residents
within the shortest time possible.

Adegoke said NIMC had enrolled and issued the NIN to over 120 million Nigerians and legal residents and, therefore, intended to cover hitherto unreachable areas through
the Ward Enrolment initiative.

He disclosed that the Corps members selected were undergoing intensive training in preparation for the kick-off of the ward enrolment.

He said: “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 Minister of Youth Development, Mr Ayodele Olawande, and the DG, NYSC, Brigade-General, Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu.
