The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has announced that the enrolment drive at the ward level is still ongoing and progressing steadily across the federation.
The exercise started officially on Monday, February 16, 2026.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by the Head, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, in a statement he issued.
NIMC reiterated that the National Identification Number, NIN, remained a foundational requirement for accessing critical government services in Nigeria.
It therefore encouraged all citizens and residents who had not yet enrolled to take advantage of the decentralised exercise and present themselves at designated ward enrolment centres.
To ensure smooth operations, NIMC advised 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
- Visit and follow NIMC official communication channels for verified information and updates: www.nimc.gov.ng.
NIMC said it remained committed to achieving inclusive identity coverage nationwide and called on all citizens and residents to come out en masse to register and obtain their National Identification Number.
