National Identity Number (NIN) Picks Up In Nigeria
With the three major telcos now registering citizens for the National Identity Number, Nigeria will come closer to achieving that milestone after many years of trying. MTN, Glo and Airtel have all confirmed that they have started the process. With the speed and quality which the telcos will bring, one can expect that the process will be over in weeks. That would be good as Nigeria needs to develop the credit market.
“We have commenced enrollment for NIN at a limited number of locations. This number will rise as certification and other dependencies on the Nigerian Identity Management Commission for the roll-out of such locations are addressed.
We have applied for and secured NIMC licence for enrollment. Additionally, we have invested in acquiring devices aligned with the NIMC standard. We continue to work with NIMC, NCC and other stakeholders towards resolution of issues which are outside our control, but are nevertheless key dependencies for further roll-out.” MTN
