President Bola has reiterated the need for National Identification Number registration, stating that without it the vulnerable may not receive any intervention from the government.
President Tinubu said this at the Forum of State Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress at the State House in Abuja on Friday.
He assured Nigerians that his administration is tirelessly working to enhance their living standards.
He maintained that local authorities must advocate for citizens’ acquisition of the National Identification Number, which is essential for strategic planning, structuring supportive interventions, and integrating them into relief schemes, according to Politics Nigeria.
He said, “I urge the state chairmen that regardless of party affiliation, let us help citizens by mobilizing them for NIN registration. Not just PVCs.
“Some are poor Nigerians who have not experienced formal education and have no understanding of what NIN is and how it will benefit their lives. We must teach them. We must care for them.
“Without NIN, we can not embark on social security interventions for the vulnerable. We will be making faulty moves without accurate data and iron-clad, digital intervention structures.”
