The World Bank says it has disbursed a total sum of $45.5 million to Nigeria under the Identity for Development project by the country\u2019s National Identity Management Commission.<\/p>\n

The World Bank disclosed this in a recent implementation report.<\/p>\n

The project which kicked off in 2021 is aimed at increasing National Identification Number, NIN enrolment for Nigerians costs $430 million.<\/p>\n

The figure released so far is 10.5 percent of the total $430 million.<\/p>\n

Consequently, NIMC announced in April 2024 that NIN enrolment increased to 107.3 million far from the 148 million enrollees target in June 2024.<\/p>\n

The development comes amid concerns that citizens\u2019 data are allegedly being sold at a price.<\/p>\n

However, at the weekend, NIMC dismissed the report of a data breach.<\/p>\n
