The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that it would commence nationwide ward-level enrollment for the National Identification Number (NIN) from Monday, February 16, 2026.
The commission said the initiative followed a presidential directive mandating NIMC to expand NIN registration to the grassroots to capture more Nigerians and legal residents in the National Identity Database.
In a statement signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, NIMC stated that the ward-level exercise was aimed at ensuring comprehensive registration of all citizens and legal residents, including children and adults. The enrollment would be conducted free of charge.
