The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced the full restoration of the National Identification Number (NIN) Verification Service (NVS) portal.
The portal went down last week due to maintenance of its infrastructure by one of the Commission’s network service providers but has now been fully restored, it said.
The NIMC’s Head, Corporate Communications, Mr. Kayode Adegoke, announced the restoration in a statement released in Abuja on Saturday, copy of which he sent to The DEFENDER Saturday night.
According to the statement, the Commission’s Customers and Service providers can now take full advantage of the two verification platforms – Tokenization and NVS – which are both effective for verification and authentication of the National Identification Number.
It expressed gratitude to the general public and partners for their support during the NVS downtime and use of the tokenization platform and assumed that the Commission will continue to come up with innovative identity management solutions to enhance its capacity to deliver on its mandate.
The statement reaffirmed the Commission’s resolve to come up with innovative identity management solutions to enhance its capacity to deliver on its mandate.
It reads in part: ”The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is pleased to announce that the National Identification Number (NIN) Verification Service (NVS) portal, which went down a few days ago due to maintenance by one of the Commission’s network service providers of it’s infrastructure, has been fully restored.
“The Commission will continue to come up with innovative identity management solutions to enhance its capacity to deliver on its mandate.”
Recall that the National Identification Number (NIN) Verification Service (NVS) portal broke down last wee due to maintenance by one of the service providers of its infrastructure.
The incident led to disruption of services by banks, telecom service providers, Police, Immigration and FRSC among others.
