The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that it has concluded plans to provide pre-enrolment services on smartphones.

This is contained a statement signed by Abdulhamid Umar, General Manager, Corporate Communications, NIMC, which says the steps was taken to ease the sign-up process for Nigerians.

According to NIMC, this development “will ensure that citizens can start their enrolment using their smart phones, a development that would ensure that in the next couple of months, citizens, of all ages, would have completed their demographic enrolment before they proceed to NIMC enrolment centres for their biometric data capture to complete their enrolment.”

The national identity manager believes that this initiative will help to decongest the enrolment centres as well as ensure that citizens enroll at their convenience as the deadline date draws nearer.
