From all indications, the slowdown in enrollments may affect Nigeria’s ambition of issuing 148 million NINs by June 2024.

Recall that the World Bank’s target under the Digital Identification for Development (ID4D) project, was for Nigeria to have issued 148 million NIN by June 2024.

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.

The data revealed that enrolment for the identity number was yet to pick up after slowing down in July.

However, with the recent appointment of a new director-general, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, NIMC assured that it has started working to accelerate the issuance of the digital identity token in line with the renewed hope mandate of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
