The Federal Government has approved 173 centres and 30 state government institutions to conduct the enrolment of all persons into the National Identity Database (NIDB) on behalf of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). According to them, this is to ensure that everyone in need of the registration gets quick access to a registrations point near their locality. The NIMC National Identity Management Commission on 16th December, 2020 announced the plan on its website.
This registration exercise was prompted by Daily Trust report on sales of pre-registered Sim cards, the federal government issued a two-week ultimatum to telecom service providers to disconnect all phone numbers without NIN.
According to Daily Trust, the Senate later on extended the deadline by eight weeks.
To beat this strict deadline, registered persons can retrieve their NIN by dialing *346# on their registered phone number for MTN, Etisalat, Airtel and Glo.
Below is a list of NIN approved centres in Nigeria.
