The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has raised concerns over the illegal printing of NIN cards, calling for public vigilance.
NIMC's Warning
Dr. Kayode Adegoke, NIMC’s Head of Corporate Communications, released a statement warning against unauthorized printing of NIN cards, emphasizing that only the official NIMC card is legally recognized. The commission has not authorized anyone to print NIN cards, and such actions are punishable by law.
New Multi-Purpose ID Card
NIMC has announced plans to introduce an enhanced General Multi-Purpose Card aimed at addressing social and economic issues with payment and identity functions. The card will work both online and offline, being useful in areas with limited internet access.
Anti-Fraud Measures
NIMC urges the public to report any unauthorized NIN card printing through official channels. The commission reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of Nigeria’s identity system and urges compliance with the law.
NIMC highlights the importance of legal compliance in identity matters and offers new solutions to ensure secure identification in the country.
