The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has launched the NIMC NIN Authentication (NNAuth).
This is to enable secure and seamless identity verification and authentication.
This was confirmed in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday, by the Head, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Dr Kayode Adegoke.
Adegoke said that similarly, the presidency had directed the use of NIN Authentication for verification and authentication across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
He explained that this was in line with the commission’s mandate of regulating a reliable national digital identity for citizens and legal residents to affirm their identity.
According to him, the inauguration of the NIN Authentication (NINAuth), a cutting-edge suite of services that includes web, API and mobile verification, is designed to enhance data security, protect privacy, and simplify access to government services.
”This is part of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda on strengthening the national identity management system.
”The NIMC NINAuth application is the official service for integration with the commission’s back-end infrastructure.
”It introduces a robust layer of protection, empowering individuals with greater control over their personal information.”
