A total of 59,786 inmates across the correctional centres in Nigeria have been enrolled by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), and issued National Identification Numbers (NINs).

The exercise was carried out in collaboration with the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), said Kayode Adegoke (Ph.D) Head, Corporate Communications Unit in a press statement, explaining that the decision was to ensure inclusivity.

He also pointed out that the initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aiming to enrol all Nigerians and legal residents. “To date, 74% of inmates have been enrolled and issued NINs, with the remaining inmates to be enrolled in the ongoing inmate enrollment.”

According to him, NIMC appreciates the support of the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Comptroller-General, Mr. Nwakuche Ndidi, and the NCoS management and staff.

“Furthermore, NIMC is set to commence ward-level enrollment across the country, a key component of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to strengthen the National Identity System,” Kayode Adegoke added.

NIMC DG/CEO, Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote emphasised that the Commission aims to work with strategic partners to enrol and issue NINs to all Nigerians and legal residents in every ward, ensuring no one is left out.
