The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has said National Identification Number (NIN) holders will have to pay N15,000 to correct their dates of birth in the commission’s database.

NIMC Regional Coordinator, Mrs Funmi Opesanwo, stated this on Wednesday at the commission’s office in Alausa, Lagos State.

According to her, NIN holders would be required to pay a N5,000 processing fee for card renewal or card replacement, as well as an address modification fee of N500.

Opesanwo reiterated that NIN enrolment is free, but card renewal, correction of date of birth, and change of address attract fees.

She said, “For the date of birth correction, there is a processing fee of N15,000.

“For card renewal or card replacement, there is a processing fee of N5,000. For the modification of address or name, it is N500. So, people misconstrue this to mean that in NIMC they are asking them to pay money. No, those are for services.”

Opesanwo noted that the fees are payable to the Treasury Single Account of the Federal Government.

“For correction of date of birth, it is N15,000 and it is payable to the TSA,” she added.

If true then Buhari, APC and all their supporters are not stupid or foolish but psychopathic and deranged. APC government will say something in the day and hide in the night to do the opposite thing. All my life I have never seen nor heard of this kind of politics. They would tell you that millions of children are been fed, boko haram defeated, everyone has received palliative, NIN is free bla bla bla. Craze men.

Opportunity to cash out from ppl who are always changing their birth date.

IlovePMB:
If true then Buhari, APC and all their supporters are mad

Lol! i wonder why you are wailing! You shouldn't be surprised for this kind of thing because even Fela Kuti spoke bad of Buhari and Obasanjo but these two persons were still let into power.

Pls if you have the slip never go to collect the plastic, many dnt know that the plastic expires. They will give you the plastic which expires few months after collection and collect the slip which never expires. You can use the slip for almost everything in Nigeria.

So after 3 years we need to renew our citizenship ..Buhari is a mere thief !!!! How I wish all Nigerians can speak and align with one voice and reject this NIN and let's see how they can block 165 million lines

Pls I need help. I want to adjust my date of birth but I am being told that since the difference in the age is over 5years, I have to produce other documents showing the new age I want to change to of which I have none. Pls is there anyone who can help?
