JUST IN: 3 Days To NIN Deadline, Minister Orders Closure Of NIMC Headquarters

The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has ordered the immediate closure of enrollment activities at the headquarters of National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in Abuja. 

Pantami gave the directive to stop the crowd of people thronging the NIMC headquarters located at Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, to register for the National Identification Number (NIN).

The minister consequently directed the commission to reactivate 20 NIN enrollment centers in the Federal Capital Territory that were hitherto shut down.

The NIMC, in a statement signed by its head of corporate communications, Kayode Adegoke, said the move was aimed at making the NIN enrollment “much easier”, especially as the January 19th deadline given for telecoms subscribers to link their SIM cards to a NIN draws near.
