FG Launches New NIN Verification Platform for Safer Identity Checks

The Federal Government has approved a new digital service, NIN Authentication, launched by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to enhance secure identity verification using the National Identification Number.

The platform—accessible via web, mobile, or API—aims to improve data protection, support service access, and comply with the Renewed Hope Agenda. All MDAs are now mandated to adopt the system for official identity checks.
