President Bola Tinubu has directed the Agency to ensure that every Nigerian is enrolled in the national identity database before the end of 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coker-Odusote, said the directive forms part of the Federal Government\u2019s efforts to establish a comprehensive national identity system capable of supporting effective governance, planning, and service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to her, the National Identity Management Commission is working with partners under the World Bank-supported Identification for Development project to accelerate nationwide enrolment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She stressed that the National Identification Number (NIN) remains a unique identifier, ensuring that every individual is registered only once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coker-Odusote argued that Nigeria\u2019s actual population remains uncertain, with estimates ranging from 200 million to 250 million, making a comprehensive identity database essential for national planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Director
