The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is a federal government agency responsible for the issuance of the National Identification Number (NIN) to all Nigerian citizens and legal residents. The commission was established in 2007 to manage the national identity database and provide a unique identifier for all individuals in the country.

The new DG NIMC is Dr. Enola Felix-Ajao, who was appointed in 2022. She is a seasoned public servant with extensive experience in the public sector, particularly in the areas of identity management and cybersecurity.

Under her leadership, the NIMC is working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the national identity management system, including the issuance of NINs, the management of the national identity database, and the provision of identity-related services to citizens and legal residents.

Some of the key initiatives of the new DG NIMC include:

  1. Improving the NIN issuance process: The commission is working to streamline the NIN issuance process, making it faster and more convenient for citizens to obtain their NINs.
  2. Enhancing data security: The NIMC is implementing measures to enhance the security of the national identity database, including the use of advanced biometric technologies and encryption techniques.
  3. Increasing public awareness: The commission is launching public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about the importance of having a NIN and the benefits of the national identity management system.
  4. Improving collaboration with other government agencies: The NIMC is working to improve collaboration with other government agencies, including the National Population Commission, the Independent National Electoral Commission, and the Federal Inland Revenue Service, to ensure that the national identity management system is integrated with other government systems.

Overall, the new DG NIMC is committed to ensuring that the national identity management system is efficient, effective, and secure, and that it provides a unique identifier for all Nigerian citizens and legal residents.
