..
A lot of Nigerians, and Nairalanders are going through this wahalla at the moment
..
If you already have your NIN-Number with you,, but whenever you take the NIN-Number to the Bank, they would always tell you to go back to the NIMC and tell them to Validate your NIN-Number and add it to the NIN-Database on the NIMC Computer.
..
This is what you would do...
..
Send an email to [email protected] with a copy-to cc.. to [email protected] and [email protected]....
..
Put the subject as “VALIDATE MY NIN-NUMBER”.
Then give them your “full name” and the NIN-Number that is to be validated.
..
..
(Try this first, then come back and thank me later)

Should I also attached it with a photocopy of my NIN ?

Starz825:
if you need to know anything concerning your NIN...
09061841056 on whatsapp only...they are your best plug

Or you can wait it out. There is no continuity in Nigeria. So NIN will expire with Buhari's government next year. Then wait for the next scheme.

Please could you share how you escalate to CBN. I need a bank to respond to my email urgently. Thank you.

jojomario:
Most of those agencies / institutions act fast when you escalate the issue to higher authorities. Anytime I have issue with any telecom service, I escalate by involving consumer protection unit. Same with bank, escalate by involving CBN. You get quick responses asap.

Those guys at NIN registration make a fortune extorting people. Is there nothing one can do to stop this rubbish?

We're you trying to on the app? And you can't or what?

If it's the app, and to isn't working after typing your NIN, it means your NIN is not validated.
