The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Friday, announced that it’s National Identification Number (NIN) verification services have been restored nationwide.
Disclosing this in a press statement, the commission said the development followed the completion of a system maintenance exercise, confirming that all previously disrupted services have resumed.
“NIMC wishes to inform the general public that the recent technical maintenance has been completed and all services have been restored,” the statement read.
The NIMC, therefore, urged Nigerians seeking to enroll for NIN to visit its official website to locate the nearest enrollment centers.
The agency also encouraged individuals to use its self-service portal for tasks such as data modification, including name changes.
To further ease the verification process, the Commission recommended downloading the NIMC NameAuth app (oath.app) from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store for quick and secure NIN authentication.
NIMC expressed appreciation for the public’s patience during the service disruption, which had impacted banks, telecom providers, and government agencies that rely on NIN verification for their operations.
