- National Identity Number (NIN) issued by NIMC
- Mobile phone registered in Nigeria and is linked to NIN
The federal government, through the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has introduced virtual National Identification Number (NIN) tokens known as “Tokenization”.
A statement by the commission explained that the NIN Tokenisation is to protect people’s data privacy through di use of an encrypted, coded version of the NIN instead of the actual NIN which is used for everyday transactions.
