The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) says its
national identification number (NIN) verification service portal has been fully
restored.
Kayode Adegoke, NIMC head of corporate communications,
announced the development in a statement on Saturday.
Over the past couple of days, the portal breakdown has
affected telecommunication companies, banks, and government agencies such as
the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), who rely on the service to verify the
NIN of their customers before attending to them.
“The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is
pleased to announce that the National Identification Number (NIN) Verification
Service (NVS) portal, which went down a few days ago due to maintenance by one
of the Commission’s network service providers of its infrastructure, has been
fully restored,” the statement reads.
“Consequently, customers and service providers can now take full advantage of the two verification platforms – Tokenization and NVS – which are both effective for verification and authentication of the National Identification Number.
“NIMC extends its profound gratitude to the general public
and partners for their support during the NVS downtime and use of the
tokenisation platform.
“The Commission will continue to come up with innovative
identity management solutions to enhance its capacity to deliver on its
mandate.”
