President Bola Tinubu has declared that without National Identity Card registration and comprehensive data coverage, it is nearly impossible for the government to provide social welfare measures for low-income people.

Speaking at the Forum of State Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House in Abuja on Friday, Tinubu assured Nigerians that his administration is tirelessly working to enhance their living standards.

According to him, local authorities must advocate for citizens’ acquisition of the National Identification Number (NIN), which is essential for strategic planning, structuring supportive interventions, and integrating them into relief schemes.

His words: “I urge the state chairmen that regardless of party affiliation, let us help citizens by mobilizing them for NIN registration. Not just PVCs.

“Some are poor Nigerians who have not experienced formal education and have no understanding of what NIN is and how it will benefit their lives. We must teach them. We must care for them.

“Without NIN, we can not embark on social security interventions for the vulnerable. We will be making faulty moves without accurate data and iron-clad, digital intervention structures.

“I have established a committee of governors, and it is headed by the Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima. It is working on what must be done to further lift our people.”

Furthermore, the president highlighted some of the programmes that are currently being rolled out by his administration,, including student loans, the national consumer credit system, and social welfare for the unemployed and graduates.

“The programme of our government will be truly progressive; student loans, a national consumer credit system, and social welfare for the unemployed, as well as graduates.

“Every Nigerian will find a place of belonging in our country. In the eye of even the biggest hurricane, we will find that place of tranquillity and prosperous harmony for the benefit of all. Nigerians will all partake on this national journey to prosperity,” he said.

NIN Registration up & down every year yet nothing to show for it. BVN is enough to help the situation via wiring the intervention fund into vulnerable peoples' account if we are serious about it. So help us, GOD!

This illegitimate guy thinks Nigerians are his party members

NIN and BVN that couldn't track bandits and terrorists.

If you like swallow the whole budget. Nigerians will overcome your myopic style.

What of the one we did during Buhari time.

Wetin be that minister name again? Pantami.

All of Una dey craze.

Settle those of us that have NIN.

Poor man don suffer. Meanwhile, I sell the best shirts in the world, see my thread now

Hehw

As if that will stop the looting

What BVN can not stop is it NIN that will stop it

Don’t worry we are shall see what the almighty NIN will do

Settle those of us that have NIN.
We are pretty much having your respected NIN

Indeed

My president You Have Said The Truth

Who is really rich in this country

Yeah! Hajia Sadatu, Betta Edu and all those implicated in high profile corruption scandal in the ministry and your government all have NIN.

Another lamba

Okay na

Go and do NIN, you said no

Go and do BVN, you said no

Go.and do TAX ID, you said no

Yet, you want my oga to give you small crumbs from the national cake?

Never happening

Yes NIN should be used... I don't know why we always make things difficult in dis country.... When it comes to voting, you ask people to get their voters card... But when it gets to sharing money, you'll start hearing talks like, it's not everyone that has a bank account, poor people don't have bank accounts....

Tell poor people today dat, you'll be sharing 30k and it's only through bank transfer.... U go see as people go open acct ASAP

Selfishness at its peak.

I agree with the president

Nonsense

BVN never do abi?

Good. Tinubu is an accountant.

As much as I don't like this power grabber, I instantly liked this post. Accountability is needed. NIN is a much before you get any form of benefit.

Your president always says the truth, but he can not DO the Truth.
The Doing, not the saying is important

Anyone reading Tinubu will think he is accountable. Imagine a man without integrity and forged identity insisting on NIN

how long will you cry for ? Another 7+ years ?

This is spot on. But politicians won't like it,because it will block their choppings

You haven't been to the north. The Fulanis in the north and Niger state see themselves as one, they intercross the borders easily so with or without BVN or NIN they can cause chaos. The point here is getting benefits, they can't get benefits without having an identification number.

extend the deadline. and stop suffering nigerians with this NIN registration

Who is this idiot calling poor?
