Nigeria has launched its first national mobile identity ecosystem, issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the Federal Ministry of Communications & Digital Economy on behalf of the government. Users need a National Identification Number (NIN) issued by NIMC and a mobile number, with up to six extra mobile numbers allowed to be added to comply with the Nigerian Communications Commission's (NCC) requirements. The app is valid for identification across the Federal Republic of Nigeria and is free of charge until January 31, 2021. Users can choose the information to be displayed under "Show My ID," with the app designed with privacy in mind. Verifiers cannot store users' IDs on their phones. Any issues should be directed to the FAQs or via email to mobileid@nimc.gov.ng.
