Authorities from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) have issued a crucial reminder to Nigerians and legal residents regarding the approaching deadline for linking the National Identification Number (NIN) with Subscribers Identity Modules (SIM). The Federal Government has set September 14, 2024, as the definitive date for this essential linkage.
The NIMC has confirmed that its extensive network of over 10,000 registration outlets across Nigeria and in the diaspora is fully operational. These centers are equipped and staffed to ensure seamless enrollment, verification, authentication, and modification of NIN data. Dr. Kayode Adegoke, the Head of Corporate Communications at NIMC, emphasized that all services related to the NIN-SIM linkage are running smoothly to meet the approaching deadline.
NIN Enrollment Centers Open for All
In a recent statement, NIMC reiterated that its NIN enrollment centers nationwide are available for Nigerians and legal residents. Anyone in need of a NIN can visit any of these centers for enrollment. The Commission is dedicated to ensuring that every citizen has the opportunity to obtain their NIN before the September deadline.
Dr. Adegoke stated, “This assurance is given in light of the September 14, 2024 deadline for the NIN-SIM linkage.” With more than 22 million children already captured in the NIMC database, the organization is committed to expanding its reach and accessibility.
Services and Support Available
NIMC has also made it clear that individuals who need to modify their NIN data can do so via the NIMC Self-Service Portal at self-servicemodification.nimc.gov.ng (terms and conditions apply). Additionally, NIN holders and applicants can seek assistance regarding enrollment centers, procedures for data modifications, NIN verification issues, and any other inquiries through the official NIMC website at www.nimc.gov.ng.
Commitment to Ethical Practices
The Commission has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy for extortion and unethical practices during the enrollment process. Dr. Adegoke reiterated that NIN enrollment is free of charge. Any reports of extortion or unethical behavior can be directed to nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng or by calling 07002255646.
NIMC is committed to delivering excellent identity management services, ensuring that all Nigerians and legal residents receive the support they need to comply with the NIN-SIM linkage requirement.

Speaking at a forum held over the weekend in Abuja, the envoy explained that boosting trade between both countries remains a key priority in her diplomatic mission.
She emphasized that her focus is on expanding the existing trade framework between Nigeria and Israel, describing it as essential to deepening economic ties and improving collaboration between both nations.
Ufochukwu also noted that her agenda extends beyond trade, including the promotion of Nigeria’s culture, agriculture, and investment opportunities, as well as supporting training programmes in cybersecurity and information technology.
She assured stakeholders of her commitment to fully delivering on her responsibilities, adding that sustained communication and cooperation would be important in achieving set goals.
Participants at the forum highlighted the need for Nigeria to address structural barriers affecting business growth, while pointing to Israel’s innovation-driven economy as a model worth studying.
One of the attendees, Pastor Henry Opara, called for formal bilateral agreements, stressing that most current business interactions between both countries are informal and based on personal relationships rather than structured government frameworks.
He argued that stronger government-to-government agreements would provide clearer rules and more stable economic engagement.
Similarly, the National Coordinator of the Nigeria–Israel Business Forum, Mrs. Florence Osuji, urged both countries to renew official trade agreements, noting that some existing arrangements have expired, leaving current trade relations without strong institutional backing.
