According to the statement released on Friday, the Commission stated further that it does not charge nor authorise any Staff or its Front End Partners (FEP) to charge applicants for the NIN enrolment.

Furthermore, the general public is advised to report any staff or FEP that demands money for enrollment through following channels: Email – customercare@nimc.gov.ng
