The National Identification Number (NIN) consists of 11 unique numbers randomly chosen and assigned to every citizen and legal resident from age 0 at the completion of enrolment into the National Identity Database (NIDB), IgbereTv News report.

The NIN is used to tie all records about an individual in the database and is also your personal identifier; you will need to use it for many other transactions -- basically anything that involves a credit check or background check.

IgbereTv list presents to you the benefit of the NIN to an individual:

It helps provide accurate records about actual living/dead persons in every region of the country

It helps keep track of actual transactions as well as movement of people within and out of the country

It helps confirm which individuals are in actual need of particular Government services, e.g. age and retirement confirmation for pensioners.

When it comes to access to vital services (port issuance, banking services, land transactions, insurance services, pension, health insurance, payment of taxes, voter’s registration, consumer credits, and all Government services), your NIN becomes necessary for:

cutting down the time needed for ing documents to properly identify you in order to access the services you require

reducing errors in allocation of services to the right people

prevention of fraud (419) where someone else impersonates you

verification of the real identity of other people you go into financial or business transactions with or even people you wish to employ such as house help

ensuring you are properly identified when receiving health services, e.g. ing the actual blood types of blood donors at hospitals

Verification of voter eligibility during elections.

Even outside the country, your NIN remains valuable whether you are travelling or are part of the Nigerian diaspora:

You can easily identify yourself with other proud Nigerians abroad

The Nigeria Government would have more accurate statistical data of its citizens living abroad, useful for harnessing more skills and talent.

Identity verification using the NIN would enable easier discovery of relatives and friends worldwide
Senders and receivers of money and goods/services can be identified, verified and traced as needed, enabling secure international transactions.

If you have applied since 2014, then you have NIN already what you don't have is card. NIN is different from card. NIN slip does not take time to be generated. Check the slip that was given to you. Your NIN number is on it.

How does NIN provide accurate records of living/dead? Are they giving dead people NIN too?


It helps keep track of actual transactions as well as movement of people within and out of the country
What transactions are u talking about? Which work is port&immigration doing abeg?


It helps confirm which individuals are in actual need of particular Government services, e.g. age and retirement confirmation for pensioners.
Is it because of NIN that govts owe salaries, don't build roads, dont improve quality of education e.t.c.? Pls read section 14(2b) of d constitution. It doesn't say anything about NIN



When it comes to access to vital services (port issuance, banking services, land transactions, insurance services, pension, health insurance, payment of taxes, voter’s registration, consumer credits, and all Government services), your NIN becomes necessary for:

cutting down the time needed for ing documents to properly identify you in order to access the services you require
So if I go 2d bank, d bank will use NIN? What of BVN? Were will they put that one? Those who pay taxes have their TIN. What happens 2 that?


reducing errors in allocation of services to the right people
What services have govt actually rendered that it is making errors in allocating those services? Pls highlight d services.



prevention of fraud (419) where someone else impersonates you
How does it prevent fraud?


verification of the real identity of other people you go into financial or business transactions with or even people you wish to employ such as house help
Are u telling me that people can't scam u with their real.identity?


ensuring you are properly identified when receiving health services, e.g. ing the actual blood types of blood donors at hospitals
So all this while, people have not been properly identified in d hospitals? How does NIN "actual blood types of blood donors at hospitals". Is NIN a lab? Does it test blood?


Verification of voter eligibility during elections.

What's d essence of PVC?


Even outside the country, your NIN remains valuable whether you are travelling or are part of the Nigerian diaspora:

You can easily identify yourself with other proud Nigerians abroad
Are u saying uptill now Nigerians have been having difficulty identifying themselves with other proud Nigerians abroad?



The Nigeria Government would have more accurate statistical data of its citizens living abroad, useful for harnessing more skills and talent.
D statistical data taken by BVN, immigration, road safety, pension, what has govt done with it?


Identity verification using the NIN would enable easier discovery of relatives and friends worldwide
This is wonderful. So NIN now has d ability to help "discovery of friends&relatives worldwide". Is it that we will all have each others NIN just like we no each others names or how does this work?


Senders and receivers of money and goods/services can be identified, verified and traced as needed, enabling secure international transactions.
Once again, what's d essence of BVN? Do u need NIN to send goods/services?

http://igberetvnews.com/514066/benefit-of-national-identification-number-nin/



These are clearly not benefits cos d question is benefits 4 who? Going by what u have written, d NIN serves no purpose
