The National Identity Management Commission has warned unscrupulous individuals, cyber cafes, and organizations’ against the indiscriminate printing of unauthorized ‘NIN’ cards and charging unsuspecting members of the public exorbitant fees.

A statement signed by Dr. Kayode Adegoke, the Head, Corporate Communications Unit, NIMC said *the Commission has not authorized anyone or organization to print any card in place of the NIMC General Multi-Purpose Card. This act is against the NIMC Act no 23, 2007.”

“To this end, the general public and organizations are advised to stop printing any NIN cards against the authorized NIMC GMPC. The so-called NIN card is not authorized by NIMC, and on no account should anyone present it as a means of identification” the statement warned.

It said “the security agencies have been notified of this nefarious activity and have been mandated to apprehend those involved. Anyone caught will be made to face the full wrath of the law.”

“The Commission reiterates that the NIN slip is the only legal document authorized as a means of identification, and it must be verified upon presentation to access services” the statement further clarified.

“To meet the yearnings of the public, the Commission has finalized plans to launch the Improved GMPC, which is multifunctional and serves as a physical means of identification and payment. The card is powered by AfriGO, a local payment platform” NIMC stated.
