Should you register?

That is an individual decision. The law of the land where you live definitely will affect you. Under the National Identity Management Commision Act, it is an offence if eligiible, but one chooses not to register for a NIN (National Identification Number) and obtain the Nigeria National Identity Card (NNIC). It is also important to note that having the NNIC with no effective Data Protection Law poses some risks; it could result to identity theft and illegal peddling of personal data with no law to refer to for seeking proper redress ina court of law.
