Image
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the National Identity Management Commission to expand National Identification Number enrolment to 95 per cent by December 2026, according to Punch. The directive creates a clear deadline for expanding coverage of Nigeria's national identity system. The 95 per cent figure is a government target, not evidence that 95 per cent coverage has already been achieved. The actual enrolment level should be tracked against NIMC's official data.
