The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), senator George Akume, has emphasised that Nigerians must have a National Identification Number (NIN) to access social services and government palliatives.

Speaking at the opening of an Inter-Ministerial retreat on the Nigeria Digital Identification for Development (ID4D) Project in Lagos, SGF, reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s commitment to providing digital identity for all Nigerians.

Senator Akume—represented by Professor Babatunde Bolaji urged government agencies to support the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in strengthening the national identity system.

The SGF, who also chairs the Project Ecosystem Steering Committee (PESC) for the ID4D Project, lauded NIMC director-general Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote for her dedication. He assured her of his continued support in implementing reforms to enhance the Commission’s role.
