Advantages of NIN in Nigeria

The NIN system will bring great development to Nigeria. Some of the advantages of having NIN numbers linked to individual property and accounts are:

• Reduction in crime rate
• Easy Verification
• Population Estimation

Reduction in crime rate

Using fingerprints found in crime scenes, the police can match the evidence with the NIN servers and find out the name, age and address of the criminal. The bank accounts of such people can easily be frozen and no means of transportation will be available to them.

This will go a very long way in curbing crime in Nigeria.

Easy Verification

The NIN will provide an easy way for authorities to verify your identity using only phone numbers and your name.

Many registrations will be carried out smoothly once the NIN becomes a well used means of identification.

Population Estimation

The last population census carried out in Nigeria ended in conflicting results as many people doubted the efficacy of the manual method.

Once everyone has an NIN the population can be estimated using the NIMC servers and information.

These and many others are the advantages of using NIN as a general means of identification.
