THE National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) will commence a ward-to-ward National Identity Number (NIN) registration exercise across the 25 Local Government Areas of Delta State on Monday, February 16, 2026.
The exercise is in line with a directive from the Federal Government mandating NIMC to ensure that all eligible residents are given the opportunity to register for their NIN without delay. The registration drive will run from February 16 to March 30, 2026, and will be conducted daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Director-General, Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, Dr. Fred Oghenesivbe, disclosed this in a statement issued yesterday. He said the state government was encouraging residents aged zero and above who have not yet enrolled to take full advantage of the exercise.
Dr. Oghenesivbe stressed the importance of registering for the NIN, describing it as a mandatory requirement for accessing key services, including banking and telecommunications, government empowerment programmes, processing of travel documents, and other official and financial transactions.
He assured residents that registration centres would be situated at designated Town Halls in every ward across the state to guarantee accessibility and convenience.
