The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has ordered the immediate closure of National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) headquarters and directed that 20 more centres be opened in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)  in order to reduce the large crowd always at the commission’s headquarters.    

NIMC spokesman, Kayode Adegoke, announced the closure of the commission’s headquarters by the Minister in a statement issued in Abuja.

He said 20 centres were reactivated within the FCT to make the process of NIN enrolment much easier for applicants effective Monday, January 18, 2021.

Members of the public, residents and visitors to the FCT wishing to enrol for NIN are advised to use any of the 20 NIMC centres.
