The technical hitch in the National Identity Number (NIN) verification portal of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has yet to be resolved about eight days after the unfortunate development
NIMC said that the Verification Service is temporarily unavailable due to the maintenance by one of the commission’s network service providers.
The affected NIMC portal enables telecom firms, the Nigerian Immigration Service, banks, and other organisations to verify the National Identity Number of their customers before attending to them, in line with the Federal Government’s directive
NIMC said this in a statement that “The commission apologises for any inconvenience this might cause our esteemed customers, as all hands are on deck to ensure speedy restoration.
“Meanwhile the public can make use of the alternative Tokenisation verification platform.
“For more information on how to use the Tokenisation platform, visit https://wild.nimc.gov.ng,” it said.
