The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has reiterated its warning to Nigerians against sharing their NIN or Data with anyone or on any fictitious sites.

This came when the Commission was notified of the activities of unauthorised individuals or organisations purportedly asking for the submission of the National Identification Number (NIN) of Anambra residents in exchange for money.
The Commission in a statement released to pressmen on Wednesday stated that this act contravenes the NIMC Act No 23, 2007, Data Protection Act, and Cyber Crime Act, adding that NIN can only be used by the holders to access govt or private sector services, and subjected to verification.

“Upon receiving the information on the activities of the unscrupulous individuals, NIMC, in conjunction with Department of State Services (DSS) and Nigeria Police Force (NPF), swiftly arrested the culprits behind the illegal collection of the NIN, currently being interrogated and would be made to face the full wrath of the law”, the Commission said.

The Commission, advised Anambra State residents and other Nigerians to avoid submitting their NINs to unauthorized individuals, organizations, or platforms, as the Federal Government and NIMC have not authorized this.
“Anyone caught will be sanctioned
appropriately. At no time should NIN holders give out their NINs for monetary compensation. This is against the laws of the Federation. Anyone caught will be dealt with appropriately”, the Commission added.

As the Commission has taken necessary measures to curb the activities of these unscrupulous individuals, general public is advised to reach out whenever they notice the indiscriminate collection of NIN via: nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng;
07002255646; 01923000010.

While thanking all security agencies for their support towards the credibility and success of the NIN enrolment project.
