The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has directed security agencies to arrest and prosecute individuals and organizations illegally printing and selling unauthorized National Identification Number (NIN) cards.
The Commission, in a statement signed by its Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, on Monday, reaffirmed that the NIN slip remains the only legally recognized document for identification in Nigeria, pending the launch of its General Multipurpose Card (GMPC).
