The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has said a National Identification Number (NIN) gotten through bank verification exercise is not useful to the bearer.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the Commission made this known on Tuesday, stressing that such NIN can only be used after it has been updated at an NIMC enrollment Center.
“You must complete your NIN registration even if your BVN has generated a NIN. If your NIN was generated due to the BVN record harmonization with the National Identity Database, you will not have access to the NIMC mobile app and your NIN-SIM integration will be invalid.
“All NIN generated by the BVN can only be used after it has been updated at the NIMC enrollment center,” NIMC stated via a public notice.
The Commission advised bearers of such NIN to visit NIMC enrollment center to complete the NIN registration.
