“This supports President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to improve how identities are managed in the country,” he said.
The Federal Government has approved a new National Identification Number (NIN) authentication service by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to streamline and secure identity verification. In a statement on Tuesday, NIMC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, said the Presidency has mandated all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to adopt the service for identity checks. The move aligns with NIMC’s mandate to provide a secure digital ID system for Nigerians and legal residents.
The new service, NIN Authentication, offers web, mobile app, and API integration to enhance data protection, privacy, and access to government services. “This supports President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to improve identity management nationwide,” Adegoke said. The NINAuth application is the official platform for interfacing with NIMC’s database, ensuring seamless and secure verification.
