<p>According to the NIMC statistics, Kano leads the national tally by a wide margin, outpacing Lagos State, which recorded 412,220 new NINs within the same period.

<p>In the middle and lower tiers of the ranking, states like Zamfara (50,800), Bayelsa (46,470), and Gombe (42,340) registered more modest figures. At the bottom of the chart were Cross River (27,210), Ekiti (26,640), and Kogi (26,040), raising concerns about the pace of NIN uptake in those areas.</p>

<p>The diaspora community was not left out, with a total of 49,950 NINs generated by Nigerians living abroad between January and June 2025.</p>
<p>The significant numbers recorded, especially in Kano, reflect ongoing efforts by the federal government to promote national identity registration, which is critical for security, planning, and service delivery.</p>
<p>NIMC officials say the increase in figures is largely due to expanded enrollment centers, mobile registration units, and increased awareness campaigns targeted at both urban and rural populations across the federation.</p>
<p>As Nigeria continues to expand its digital infrastructure and streamline access to government services, the NIN remains a key requirement for accessing banking services, passport applications, and telecommunications registration, among others.</p>
<p>The data reinforces the urgency for lagging states to intensify registration drives to ensure inclusivity and national data accuracy.</p>
