The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, through the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Engr. Aliyu A. Aziz has introduced the Mobile Web Service (MSW) Application and the improved National Identification Number (NIN) Slip for Public use.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications of NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, which states that “as an integral part of Nigeria’s digitiaation process spearheaded by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, the App offers a built-in harmonisation process that allows for its use across other government services including FIRS, FRSC, NHIS, NPF, and NCC to mention a few.
“On the other hand, the new improved NIN slip is pocket friendly and easy to verify and can be accessed via a self-service Portal, where persons who already have been issued the NIN, can log in, pay a small token fee, download a PDF of the document in colour (if preferred) print and laminate as desired.
“The current NIN Slip will remain valid and gradually phased out.The NIMC App is available on the App Store for IOS users and Google Play store for Android users,” the statement added.
