UNILORIN reaffirms commitment to relationship with NIMC

The nation’s most sought-after University, the University of Ilorin, has reiterated its commitment to a long-lasting relationship with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

This assurance was given by the University’s Registrar, Mr Mansur Adeleke Alfanla, while receiving the Supervisor of the UNILORIN Enrolment Registration Office of the NIMC, Ms. Bashirat Bello, in his office penultimate Thursday (December 7, 2023).

While pledging the University management’s continued support for the  NIMC Office, the Registrar commended the NIMC’s advocacy efforts towards promoting national identity registration and ensuring a seamless process for the University community.

Mr Alfanla encouraged members of the University community and residents of the neighbouring communities to utilise the on-campus NIMC office for National Identity Number (NIN) registration.

He highlighted the advantageous location of the MIMC Office for students taking the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as he reminded them of the University’s accredited JAMB CBT Centre.

The Registrar seized the opportunity to congratulate the newly appointed Director-General of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote as he expressed confidence in her ability to stimulate transformative changes during her tenure.

Speaking earlier, the Supervisor of UNILORIN Enrolment Registration Office (ERO), Ms Bashirat Bello, told the Registrar that the Commission’s mandate is to establish and manage the National Identity Database.

Ms Bello, who is an Assistant Chief Identity Officer, assured that the UNILORIN ERO offers seamless access to enrolment and NIN related services.

She noted that with the upcoming sales of forms for the 2024 UTME, where NIN is mandatory for registration, staff members with children taking the exams should prioritise registration at the UNILORIN Enrolment Registration Office to avoid last-minute rush.

While thanking the Registrar for receiving her even at a short notice, Ms Bello thanked the management of the institution for the support extended to the Enrolment Registration Office on the University campus over the years.
