NIMC’s Ward-Level Enrolment: A Nationwide Push for Digital Identity

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has continued its expansive Ward-Level Enrolment Drive, a crucial initiative that commenced on Monday, February 16, 2026.

This nationwide effort is steadily progressing, aiming to ensure that every Nigerian citizen and resident obtains their National Identification Number (NIN), a fundamental requirement for accessing essential government services.

Dr. Kayode Adegoke, Head, Corporate Communications at NIMC, emphasized the ongoing commitment to inclusive identity coverage.

“The National Identification Number (NIN) remains foundational requirement for accessing critical government services in Nigeria,” stated Dr. Adegoke.

“The Commission therefore encourages all citizens and residents who have not yet enrolled to take advantage of this decentralised exercise and present themselves at designated ward enrolment centres.

“To facilitate a seamless enrolment process, NIMC advises the public to take the following steps:
•Locate Enrolment Centres: Check the official NIMC website, www.nimc.gov.ng, to find the nearest designated enrolment point within their respective wards.

•Cooperate with Officials: Extend full cooperation to enrolment officials to ensure a smooth and efficient registration experience.

•Provide Accurate Information: Furnish accurate and verifiable information during the registration process.
•Stay Informed: Visit and follow NIMC’s official communication channels for verified information and updates.
