The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) issued a total of 634,603 new National Identification Numbers (NIN) in July. 

This brought the total number of issued NIN to 101.64 million as of July 25, 2023, from 101 million recorded in June.

The July record shows a slowdown in the enrolment as NIMC had been recording an average of 1 million new enrolments in the past months.

NIN: Lagos, Kano maintain lead as enrolments hit 118.4 million in March 2025

April 20, 2025

According to the NIMC data, Lagos State maintained the top spot by recording the highest number of enrolments in the country with 11.07 million Nigerians captured in the State.

This was followed by Kano State, which recorded 9 million registered NIN.

The two most populous states in Nigeria, according to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics have maintained the lead in NIN enrolment since the beginning of the exercise. 

In terms of the gender distribution of the enrollees, the NIMC data reveals that 57.7 million, representing 56.79% of Nigerians so far captured in the NIN database are male. On the flip side, 43.9 million, representing 43.21% of the total enrollees are female. 

Top and bottom states 

Aside from Lagos and Kano, other states that made the top ten in terms of the number of enrolments include Kaduna with 6.3 million; Ogun with 4.3 million; Oyo with 3.9 million; Katsina 3.5 million; FCT with 3.4 million; Rivers 3 million; Bauchi 2.7 million and Delta which also recorded 2.7 million. 

NIMC data shows that the 10 states with the lowest NIN issued are Akwa-Ibom 1.7 million, Imo 1.7 million, Kogi 1.7 million; Enugu 1.63 million, Yobe 1.6 million, Taraba 1.46 million, Cross River 1.16 million, Ekiti 1 million, Ebonyi 810,612, and Bayelsa 638,660.  

World Bank’s target 

The slowdown in enrollments in July may further affect the country’s ability to meet the World Bank’s target under the Digital Identification for Development (ID4D) project.

Under the project terms, Nigeria is expected to have issued 148 million NIN by June 2024.  

Even with an average of 1 million enrolments monthly, Nigeria was not certain to meet the deadline which is now less than a year. 

Aside from issuing NIN to 148 million Nigerians by 2024, the Bank listed other targets to include the issuance of NIN to at least 65 million female Nigerians by June 1, 2024, as well as 50 million NIN to children under 16 years of age.   

 

What you should know 

The ID4D project, which commenced in 2019, is being financed through an International Development Association (IDA) credit of US$115 million and co-financing of US$100 million from the French Agency for Development and US$215 million from the European Investment Bank.

According to the World Bank, which facilitated the loans and monitored the project, as of April 30, 2023, a total of $35.6 million had been disbursed for the implementation of the project. 

The bank said the objective of the Digital Identification for Development Project for Nigeria is to increase the number of persons with a national ID number, issued by a robust and inclusive foundational Identification (ID) system, that facilitates their access to services.

    This is good and there is hope insight to meet the said number of 14( million, it’s possible. I think the only challenge is the issue of insecurity bedeveleing us as a country and likewise the lack of trust from the citizens living in the rural areas.. a good number of Nigerians leave in rural areas locating them has always been a challenge

    The enrollment officers are passing the challenges as follows
    1. Lack of payment
    2. Lack of security
    3. Lack of encouragement by the government.
    If the government add another ways of doing most of activities most be with a NIN Number people most observe the NIN.
    1. Like entering the market
    2. Transportation
    3. Entering an organization etc. The terget can be achieved on the right time.

    I am personally having a frustrating an ugly experience with NIN officials now. My NIN was generated from BVN automatically with a wrong date of birth and I have strictly followed the procedures provided by them for correction of date of birth together with the payment. For Over( 19 )months the date of birth was not corrected , i went to complain severally and they kept telling me to write down my name and check back for over (18)months . When I needed to apply for certain jobs that required my NIN, I had to frustratingly visit roadside NIN agent for help and my NIN was blocked. Since 2020 I graduated from school till now, this NIN issue has made me to loose many job opportunities because all my certificates including WAEC have my correct date of birth.
    When this happened, i have reported to them with my RRR , till this minute no response yet.
    Sincerely, I am becoming depressed by the day .
    With total loyalty, I want this message to reach the appropriate quoter in charge of corrections in NIN for them to please help me out. This was done in PHC NIN Head Office.
    This is my prayer.
    Thank you.

      You will pay 20k to correct it. That’s what the NIMC consultants charge.

    NIGERIA IS A DEN OF FRAUDSTERS:
    WHERE’S the $433m from World Bank’s Digital Identification for Development (ID4D) project? The past administration under Buhari and Isa Pantami as minister gulped the money, leaving the NIMC contractors no choice than to be extorting money from Nigerians.
    NIGERIANS ARE PAYING N2000 FOR THE NIN REGISTRATION….is the World bank aware of this?
    That’s the major setback and reasons for low registration.
    Aso Rock Cabals have siphoned the world bank’s fund.

    Thank you very much. I registered for my NIN in February 2018 at BADAGRY Local Government, Lagos State and ever since I have not collected the NIN Card till now. Please is my card ready now and where and how can I collect it. I have been using the temporary paper issued to me ever since. I would have indicated the number here but for security reason and that of my daughter too because we registered the same day. Please your feedback will be highly appreciated.
