NIMC to Support INEC for Free and Fair Elections

The Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Engr. Abisoy Coker Odusot, confirmed the agency's commitment to assist the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in delivering free and fair elections.

This statement was made during a courtesy visit to INEC headquarters in Abuja on a Wednesday. INEC Chairman, Prof.

Joash Amupitan, emphasized the importance of strengthening collaboration with NIMC to enhance the electoral process, particularly through improved identification verification systems aimed at reducing electoral fraud. The partnership is part of ongoing efforts by the federal government to modernize public institutions and deepen digital governance.

The NIMC Act, signed into law by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on June 26, 2026, represents a significant reform in Nigeria's identity management system, aiming to bolster public trust in electoral processes and improve service delivery.
