From the NIMC’s report, here are the top ten (10) States with the lowest NIN enrolments.

1. Akwa-Ibom State (1.7 million)

2. Imo State (1.7 million)

3. Kogi State (1.7 million)

4. Enugu State (1.64 million)

5. Yobe State (1.6 million)

7. Cross River State (1.17 million)

8. Ekiti State (1 million)

9. Ebonyi State (818,173) and

10. Bayelsa State (642,233.1)

In terms of the gender distribution of the enrollees, the NIMC data also disclosed that 58.15 million, representing 56.8 per cent of Nigerians so far captured in the NIN database are male, while 44.23 million, representing 43.2 per cent of the total enrollees are females.

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 Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, a new director-general, 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.
