NIN Registration: “enrolment figures as at July 25, 2023 stands at over 101.64 m”_ NIMC
The National Identification Number (NIN) for Nigerians as of July 25, 2023, currently stands at 101.64 million, a new report from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has shown.
NIN, which is a unique number that identifies an individual for life and is issued by NIMC after enrollment, has been on the rise since the Federal Government placed an initial deadline on the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) on December 30, 2020.
In its report titled “Enrolment Dashboard July 2023,” NIMC said its “enrolment figures as at July 25, 2023 currently stand at over 101.64 million unique records.”
From the figures presented, the commission stated that Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria, had the largest contribution, with over 11 million enrolled Nigerians.
A closer examination of the report showed that on a regional distribution spread, the North and South had equal distribution.
On a gender distribution basis, the data revealed that more than 57 million men registered for their NIN, representing 56.79 percent of the 101 million people registered, while 43 million people were women, representing exactly 43.21 percent of that number.
