NIMC Enrolment Exercise - Visual Data Presentation (2012 - 2016)

Since the kick-off of the pilot scheme of enrolment of Nigerians into the National Identity Database in 2012, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has seen a steady rise in enrolment figures.

One of the strategies adopted by the current administration under the leadership of Engineer Aliyu A. Aziz, who took over the helm of affairs in November 2015, has been the shifting of focus to educating Nigerians on the importance of enrolling for the National Identification Number (NIN). The NIN is deemed to be used in the near future for all important transactions within the country and even outisde.

The acquisition of BVN data from banks via the harmonization process provided a significant boost to NIMC's efforts in 2016. As at December 2016, NIMC's total enrolment figures stood at over 14 million.

The interactive chart below provides a visual representation of the progress made from 2012 to 2016.
