In a significant development at the NIMC Headquarters, Abuja, today on the 25th of January 2024, the Chairman of the National Population Commission, Hon. Nasir Isa Kwarra, fnsa, and the Director-General/CEO of the National Identity Management Commission NIMC, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, jointly inaugurated a crucial technical committee.

This collaborative effort between the two foundational identity Commissions aligns seamlessly with the national objective of optimizing data management. The initiative's primary goal is to streamline data collection, elevate the precision of national records, and ensure resource efficiency. These efforts, in turn, are expected to fortify and accelerate the mechanisms of national planning.

The synergistic approach adopted by the committee is poised to significantly boost citizen enrolment into the National Identity Database. Importantly, it aims to guarantee that all citizens enumerated during the forthcoming National Population and Housing Census are uniquely identified, marking a pivotal step towards comprehensive and accurate demographic data.
