The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has issued a stern warning to the public, reiterating that enrollment for the National Identification Number (NIN) is entirely free of charge. The Commission emphasized that it neither charges nor authorizes its staff or Front End Partners (FEPs) to demand payment for NIN registration.

In a statement released by Dr. Kayode Adegoke, Head of Corporate Communications, NIMC directed security agencies to identify and prosecute any staff or FEPs involved in extortion. Those caught will face sanctions, including the withdrawal of licenses for culpable FEPs.

To report any cases of extortion, the public can reach out to NIMC through:

– Email: customercare@nimc.gov.ng
– *Phone number*: 0700-2255-646

NIMC assures the public of its commitment to providing seamless enrollment services and stemming the tide of extortion .
