The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has stressed the need for Nigerians to visit the enrolment centres to complete their National Identification Number (NIN) registration.
It insisted that it is mandatory for people not to be complacent with the generation of NIN due to Bank Verification Number (BVN) record harmonisation with the National Identity Database.

The commission, via a post on its official Twitter handle, urged those who have gotten their NIN through such a process to visit the enrolment centres to validate their number.
Eko Hot Blog gathers that NIMC’s clarification is coming on the heels of controversy sparked by the use of shortcodes to generate the NIN.
You MUST complete your NIN registration even if your BVN has generated a NIN.@DrIsaPantami @aliyuaziz
