The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has adopted the “booking system” for applicants to obtain their National Identity Number (NIN).
“Mindful of the second wave of the COVID-19 which continues to severely affect public health and cause unprecedented disruptions, the commission wishes to announce that it has adopted a couple of measures to contain the spread of the virus whilst ensuring its services to Nigerians are not entirely interrupted,” the NIMC began in a Tuesday statement it tagged “NIMC Adopts Booking System For NIN Enrolment.”
“Effective December 30, 2020, attending to applicants would be based on Booking System. For Bookings, applicants are to visit any of the NIMC Offices closest to them during stipulated business hours (9 am – 1 pm).
“Once admitted into the office, a Number-Issuing queue management system will be in place to ensure orderliness and strict adherence to Covid-19 Protocols.”
The NIMC equally urged all NIN applicants to adhere strictly to the COVID-19 safety protocols which include wearing of facemasks, washing of hands and the observance of social distancing at all registration centres across Nigeria.
