Nigeria’s National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has explained that in order to ensure the security of the National Identification Number, data modification can only be done in the official self-service portal.
The spokesperson of NIMC, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, made this
clarification in a statement on Monday.
His statement comes amid reports of NIN modification on some
websites.
However, NIMC warned Nigerians that NIN modification can only be done on its official self-service portal, not unauthorised websites.
The statement said, “The National Identity Management
Commission (NIMC) wishes to state that in order to ensure the security and
integrity of your National Identification Number (NIN) data, modifications can
only be done on the official NIMC self-service portal:
selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng.
“Do not attempt to modify your NIN data on any unauthorised
websites, as this may compromise your personal information and put you at risk
of identity theft.
“By using the official NIMC self-service portal, you can be
rest assured that your data is secure and protected. You’ll also enjoy the
convenience of updating your information from anywhere, at any time.”
