The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) on Monday instructed National Identification Number (NIN) applicants to download the enrolment form, fill and submit it at any of its enrolment centres across the country.

This directive,observers believed is to stem the crowd of people who have today besieged the various NIMC centres to process their identity cards.
NIMC made this known in a tweet via its Twitter handle.
“Dear #NIN applicants, you can kindly download the enrolment form below. http://commtech.gov.ng/Doc/enrolment_form_v2.pdf
Fill & submit the form in any of @nimc_ng’s enrollment centres to be enrolled into the National Identity Database & be issued the National Identification Number,” NICM tweeted
Recall that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had last week instructed telecommunications companies to block all unregistered SIM cards in the country in two weeks.
Customers of all networks were told to register with their NIN or risk losing their numbers.
The FG approved 173 centres and 30 state government institutions for the enrolment of all persons, including legal residents into the National Identity Database (NIDB) on behalf of the NIMC.
