President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the adoption of National Identity Number (NIN) authentication across all federal ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).
The move is aimed at enhancing secure and seamless identity verification within government operations. It follows the federal government’s approval of the rollout of NIN Authentication services developed by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
The development was announced in a statement released on Tuesday by NIMC spokesperson, Dr. Kayode Adegoke.
According to the statement, the NINAuth platform is a state-of-the-art suite of services—including web, API, and mobile verification tools—designed to strengthen data security, protect user privacy, and simplify access to public services for citizens and legal residents.
“The NIMC NINAuth application is the official channel for integration with the commission’s backend infrastructure. It introduces a robust layer of protection, empowering individuals with greater control over their personal information,” the statement read in part.
It added that by requiring explicit user consent before sharing data for Know Your Customer (KYC) processes or other verifications, the platform promotes transparency, trust, and autonomy in digital identity management.
