voters when the continuous voter registration exercise commences in a few weeks, The PUNCH has learnt.He said the NIN would help tackle challenges of underage voting, alien voting and other challenges associated with registration.
“I can tell you that the NIN will be one of the preconditions for registration when the CVR starts. We are trying to harmonise all databases.” The commission had announced in November that the registration exercise would begin in the first quarter of 2021.The Nigeria Immigration Service had in 2019 made the NIN a precondition for obtaining a passport while the National Examination Council and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board said recently that only persons with their NINs would be eligible to sit for exams.
According to the statement, the number of Nigerians, who have collected NINs, has increased to 47.8 million. The NCC stated, “So far, a total of 47.8 million NINs have been collected by the mobile operators. At an average of three to four SIMs per subscriber, this means many millions will be linked up before the deadline in February 2021.”
Reacting to the report of the committee, the minister on Tuesday expressed satisfaction with the achievement. Those, who spoke to The PUNCH at the two centres expressed frustration at what they called the slow pace of registration. Another prospective registrant, who identified himself as Abubakar, said he had earlier tried his luck with centres in the city centre with the hope that those ones would not be crowded.
In Rivers State, applicants, who besieged the NIMC office in Port Harcourt, said the process was frustrating. In Kwara State, applicants from other parts of the state, went to the NIMC centres in Ilorin, the state capital. The PUNCH gathered that workers at the Lagos centre were overwhelmed with the crowd, many of whom were made to wait at the gate.
Very good INEC
By now you should be rounding up registration and you are still deciding what
SO THAT YOUR PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE MASSIVELY AND THE WEST WILL HAVE LOW VOTE ABI. ISSOKAY
Will it stop you guys from allowing children voting in the north and hijacking of ballot boxes in the south? You guys already select and impose yourselves using INEC, so this is nothing to bother about.
As if that one will stop north to bring underage to come out and vote
NIN or BVN should be made compulsory.
Does it not amount to heating up the already tensed situation concerning NIN in the country? Why couldn't the 'anonymous commissioner' close his mouth when he knows he hasn't got authority to speak on the issue he raised? Of what import is NIN to hungry Nigerians now?
Best news ever
Good idea oooo, better thing, so make we know who be who and those ghost voting
Na to add am for Census i dey wait to read.
How many they vote before? 😂😂😂
Useless country
As good as the idea may sound, I totally against it simply because we have wasteful and corrupt leaders who will turn the whole thing into money making avenue just as NIMC is doing right now.
INEC that has not been able to issue voters cards?
You are easily deceived by this monsters why?
Election fraud is about happening again ...
Una Dey ment
Will it stop you guys from allowing children voting in the north and hijacking of ballot boxes in the south? You guys already select and impose yourselves using INEC, so this is nothing to bother about.
Wahala
Ment
At this rate there will be no sex without NIN. Foolish people dem lot
I hope it for your plan
Thank God, I have the voters card already,your fada I will make sure we destroy both APC and PDP D's coming election.....I will always stand with YeleSowore
So even for someone wasted many resources to get Voters card, you don't have their data to generate NIN. Big shame to Nigeria as Country.
Just imagine
That is a big mistake!
For southerners alone! That is how card readers don't work in the north.
I support this. But then, let voter registration begin Q1 of 2021 and last till Q4 2022.
Who voters ID EPP
As long as you won’t make it compulsory for us before we eat food in the restaurant 🤧
Nobody go vote na
inecnigeria is an agent of anti democracy in Nigeria! They are trying their best to make sure that we are unable to register for voting in the 2023 elections!! NIN for PVC NIN for driver's license NIN to own a phone! But they did not add NIN for social welfare packages inec💔👎
harbiohlah Stupid government
This government have no good gender for this country, reither than bring things that will benefit them.
Another plan to rig the election coming 2023. We are aware already.
I knew the had a plan !!!! Mtcheeww!
revolution is inevitable in this country! revolutionnow!
Is this wat to develop this country due to this NIN issues some people bank account has been hacked and their money was with drawn still yet our leaders don't have sense of better tins, than to make things difficult for the citizens
No need to vote na. As Nigeria is claiming not to have a good programming company that can integrate all those database together without involving the masses. Most we do their job for them ?
We deceive ourselves too much in this country .... Even the so call NIN has not been made easier to get. *create more NIN outlets so that people can easily get it * stop extortion all in the name of NIN registration. Should be indeed free
Copy and paste fc. Wetin my neighbor do I go do. Yeye people.
So long animal’s will not take the place of humans when it’s time to vote, we move
Awon werey gbogbo
They should start voters card registration first
That's the way to go, as many people are currently enjoying a mandate not given them by true Nigeria Citizens.
But nobody is asking how they intend to ensure no foreigners get a NIN. The next election will be an even bigger clown show than the last one. Niger Chad and parts of Cameron will choose all future Nigerian presidents.
And what will contribute to you and rigging strategies?
Nonsense
I support the motion
The NIN is for the southern extraction?.
God which kind country be this ah

I hope INEC is also planning to make NIN holder voter anywhere in Nigeria?
This has to be one of the most idiotic thing to happen in this country so far. What concerns sim card and voter's card abeg. Who r cursed with idiots at the helm of affairs. Instead of fixing voting inconvenience yu r jumping to nin. Harlots.
Is a good one, allow the registration process go on until 2023 May 29th
Fabbyjnr_ Just tell us your plan already. All na scam abeg
Supported
Nigerians always complain before thinking. The just love the anyhowness of things. For those who may not know. Its almost soon that everyone will have NIN. Just give them when you register. Stop complaining as if you have to get a new NIN
Abi ori tah inecnigeria
Will it end poverty widespread by greedy, mindless politicians? wonder4ulworld
The voters register first is a fraud that needs to be corrected
It doesn't invalidate the pvc tho if one says fuck it eh? Cos fuck it, I'm not voting anyway, just have the pvc for identification purposes only!
Another plot to rig the South out of voting and pave way for underage voting up North.
Finally, INEC is going astray. This is a plot to disenfranchise.
You can own a plot of dry land located at Ibeju Lekki for 850k. Buy 5 plots and get 1 free. DM for details
Until you allow Nigerians get it with ease and not go through animal treatments first All your treats are just mere fallacies
Wahala for who no get NIN
What does that mean now, another stress loading ni?
For those who have the time to waste on long voter queues for predetermined election results.
They will come out to vote by their self, because even the NIN office are not helping matters at all

Get data from nin just send me my card through delivery van don't stress me again inec
We won't vote again
Sheybi na person wey wan vote
Must every agency copy this madness
Now we are thinking straight interms of data integration
With every passing day I'm convinced that this government is determined to make sure that the lives of the average Nigerian gets more miserable. We go soon leave this hellish country for you guys
😒😒
Very good.
Just legodi.... This country sha
No problem make them just Dey impose everything on us anyhow. Bad government
Do your worst 🤞
You will disenfranchise a lot of eligible voters
I no kuku dey vote...for country wey dey rig anyhow
Werey people ... Kuku pursue us comot the country
INEC planning to disenfranchise Nigerians by making NIN compulsory for voter registration.
Igbayi laro.. abule man
It can't work that way because it will never give us the accurate result we are looking for. Why because many people will not be captured in this process.
So we goan link our NIN to our voters card again
That part no concern me.
But you've not open any accredited centers for voters registration.
They want to make sure everyone has the NIN, there's inevitably nothing you can do without NIN now At first it was BVN now is NIN. They’re doing the right thing yet thinks like hoodlums... INCOMPETENT LEADERS. BitterTruth Northerners will find a way to manipulate the election.
All these people dey werey
Make the process easy and transparent for all to enroll. Rather than making it so difficult and hazardous in this time of Covid-19
You don fail already. Who go vote?
What's the use? If we won't still vote from our homes?
is that to say they do not have faith in their voters card? What exactly is that supposed to address? children register for NIN as well!
For Sale A standard plot of land measuring approximately 588.161sqm with courses of fence around it, meters away from the express way at Power line, Oluode street, opposite 1st Richbam filling station, Akala express, Ibadan. Asking Price: ₦8M
Reads like a pathological after-thought.
A professor thinking like SS2 student with your status you want to indulge in nuisances created by the minister
Ok
I think it’s a good idea! Many underage people are allowed to vote in northern territory. This idea will help to curb some irregularities. If the system is not manipulated again🚶🏽♂️😉
so can we register with our voters cards?
Hmmmmm Naija
To perfect another rigging, Ndi ara!
You better tell us fast that without NIN we will not be permitted to vote ,🥴. ~who voting help?
Good idea!
People still dey do voter registration?!
Stop making things hard for the citizens. What do we need NIN for, when we already have BVN. That can be linked with our sim cards.
• Make registration easy and accessible. • Make data correction simplified. • Stop people turning this whole thing into a money making venture. If it’s really good for Nigeria then simplify the entire process. Not everything has to be hard in this country.
Dem don dey shift goal post.
Always too late when it comes to Nigeria dealings.
This is their plans They want to limit those who will vote come 2023 so they can do any dirty work they wanna do. They know what they are doing
This NIN again abhi Oloriburuku niyin ni
That will be the best
Please More Center’s are needed !!
Not just making NIN compulsory also introduce electronic voting in your subsequent elections
What’s this craze about NIN ... una just wake up or what
Its great idea on paper but in reality after NIN-VOTE, thugs will still come BallotBox snatching and burn down ballot papers. Will NIN eradicate barbarisms inside the head of some Nigerian voters? Kogi State last election & what took place openly is great example.
Lol
This will be a good move. It will demystify many things in Nigerian electoral system.
It's funny how these people act, y'all act like God, stop trying to be God 'cos you can never be one, we would use NIN 4 breathing soon, like our votes is even counting. Awon wayray oni wayray.👎. endnaija2savelives
Na so them go loose voters
Meye maraban dambe da fada? Make them no try it abeg
I don’t even vote.. so
If properly administer, NIN=Voter's card. It's time 2 ✋ corruption thru duplication. I'm begging dis cabal 2 allow 😩 9ja 2 go and possess its possession. NIN=Voter's card= Census etc, these roles can be performed by only NIMC. Let stop deceiving ourselves.
Good move from inecnigeria , this will definitely take voting to the next level in Nigeria as we look forward to having electronic voting in our dear country.
Unconstitutional. Should be challenged in court!!!
And who do they think say go collect voters card talkless of voting
😂😂😂😂😂
Better,but the time complexity of getting the NIN is a challenge. DrIsaPantami
National ID card no be our problem n can never be our problem in this country, infact these our leaders their mumu don too much aswear🙈
That one na there story na who de fine voter's card get time
Like it means anything to election integrity
That's all they know, making silly development...
This agenda must agend shanking
These people are just stupidly mad
The north won't accept it Wait a few days and hear what they will say
Off what use is that when underage children will still vote in kano🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
Open for business Redeem your cards here
Do not waste our time and efforts again. Simply ask that Nigerians be issued the National Identity cards and use that as voters card. We are already carrying too many cards, and multiple identification leads to confusion.
Lol. What will then happen to almajiris underage voters in the north. Who NIN help sef ? Rubbish ?
Still won't stop underage from voting in the north.
Imagine a senator somewhere in the north reading this news. 🤣😂
You no go chop very soon if you no get NIN
If its can be use for electronic voting it will be good.
Dey haven't block my sim
Let's see how those kids in the north will get NIN.
Na una sabi oh, because to get NIN No be small thing!!!
Lost set of old men
Mad dey una head
When you thought you already got yourself a voter's card... Boom!
A Welcome development
