The number of individuals with National Identification Numbers grew to 92.63 million in November, according to new industry statistics from the National Identity Management Commission.

These new statistics revealed that 19.93 million Nigerians had got their NINs in 2022.

a further breakdown indicates that 52.11 million males and 40.52 million females now have NINs in the nation. The top five states for NIN holders are: Lagos (10.33 million), Kano (8.09 million), Kaduna (5.47 million), Ogun (3.87 million), and Oyo (3.68 million).

The bottom five states are Bayelsa (583,323), Ebonyi (744,869), Ekiti (971,712), Cross-River (1.06 million), and Taraba (1.35 million).

According to NIMC, the NIN was used to tie together all records about an individual – demographic data, fingerprints, head-to-shoulder facial picture, other biometric data and digital signature – in the National Identity Database to easily confirm and verify an individual’s identity when they travel and carry out transactions.

Every Nigerian is expected to get a NIN with Federal Government disclosing a plan to enrol 100 million people within a three-year period.
