The National Identification Number (NIN) has emerged as a key component of identity verification in Nigeria in the digital age, when identity is required for a variety of transactions and services. It’s critical to understand where to go for NIN enrollment because the government is pushing for NIN registration to be connected with other necessary services like banking, passports and SIM card registrations.
