The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has warned Nigerians against modifying their National Identification Number (NIN) data on unauthorised websites.
The Head of Cooperate Communications, Dr Kayode Adegoke, in a statement on Monday, indicated that modifications to NIN data could only be done on the official NIMC self-service portal.
He, therefore, warned that attempting to modify NIN data on unauthorised websites could compromise personal information and put individuals at risk of identity theft.
According to him, by using the official NIMC self service portal, Nigerians can ensure that their data is secured and protected.
‘’By using the self service portal, one could also enjoy the convenience of updating their information from anywhere, at any time.
“NIMC, therefore, advises Nigerians to use only the official portal for all NIN modification needs and to avoid unauthorised websites to prevent any potential risks,” he said.
