The tweet also explained that the main focus of the commission was to ensure that all Nigerians are enrolled.
”Our main focus is ensuring that all Nigerians are enrolled and issued their NIN and Your NIN is the most important token of your enrollment.”
According to the commission, Nigerians can authenticate their National Identity Number through NIMC verification portal.
