It’s longer news that it is mandatory for every Nigerian to register for the National Identity Number (NIN), an identity database being supervised by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
With the direction the Federal Government is toeing this time, it seems every services and privilege may be tied to the individual NIN.
Already, the Nigerian Communications Commission has been directed to disconnect any phone line that isn’t linked to NIN. That shows the significance of the registration exercise which has been on for more than seven years.
To make this faster and realizable, NIMC partnered with banks, local government councils, and agents to help handle the exercise.
If you reside in Otta, you don’t have to travel to Abeokuta to get registered, an enrolment centre is right at your doorstep.

I just registered for my Nin last week and it’s out but what I don’t understand about the whole thing is when I got there I was told I must activate with 3k or wait till three months time.i thought that as far as you have registered and it’s out automatically it is active
I enrolled for my NIN some years back,7years ago or thereabout.
But it’s quite unfortunate that in the process of registering at (covenant university)one of the then accredited nimc registration centers within ota axis.
the agent made a silly mistake while trying my name.Got to find out, after getting my temporary printout.
I lodged a complaint instantly,but I was told it would be rectified later,after I must have gotten my permanent nimc card.
Since then,I’ve lost count on how many time I’d visited the center to get my permanent card,before it got retracted.
Recently I visited a center somewhere in lagos,the agent there told me I’ll have to opt in for a change of name modification rather than trying to re-register again because it won’t come out.
Now I’m confused
The whole issue is complicated
Now the problem is how I’m going to get a modification and finally my permanent nin card, I need recommendations and suggestions
Hello Samuel, NIMC’s name correction is NGN500 on the official portal unless it’s been removed, but we’ve got a report that NIMC officials collect as much as NGN15,000 for the modification. To correct your date of birth, it’s also NGN15K. You can read more details on one of our guides at: https://infomediang.com/apply-for-nin-correction-of-name-date-of-birth
I have did my NIN about a moths ago now. Telling me it’s having error and I really need it concerning some issues please help me to chacknit out.
it is too cumbersome getting to the Ado odo ota LG secretariat ,ota to see extortation from NIMC Staffs from the Public of N3000 per person and at the Bell NIMC staff make it hard on the public by asking for unnecessary information ,infact it was so terrible that federal govt should why such act being polarized on the citizens.
Tell us your exact location for us to make a recommendation on the nearby enrolment centre.
I stay at Ibafo, Ogun state where is the closest NIN registration center
NIMC enrolment centre is at Obafemi-Owode LG Secretariat, Owode.
