In a statement released by the Commission, NIMC stressed the importance of ensuring the security and integrity of NIN data, cautioning citizens against using unauthorized websites or third-party services for modifications.
The Commission warned that attempting to alter personal information on unofficial platforms could expose individuals to identity theft and other forms of cyber fraud.
