The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has cautioned Nigerians against changing details of their National Identification Number (NIN) using unauthorised websites.
The warning was given by Dr Kayode Adegoke, Head of Corporate Communications, who spoke in a statement on Monday.
According to Adegboke, modifications to NIN data can only be carried out on the official NIMC self-service portal.
He also warned against attempts to modify NIN data on unauthorised websites, which could compromise personal information and expose individuals to identity theft.

“By using the self-service portal, individuals can 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 stated.
