Remi Tinubu Urges Nigerians to Register for NIN

Remi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, emphasized the necessity for Nigerians to register and obtain their National Identification Number (NIN) during a statement commemorating World Population Day on July 11, 2026. She highlighted the importance of accurate demographic records to guide government policy decisions and improve public service delivery amid Nigeria's growing population.

Tinubu appealed to citizens who have not yet enrolled for the NIN to do so, stating that reliable population figures would enable the government to respond effectively to the needs of Nigerians and allocate resources appropriately. She stressed the significance of investing in people, particularly women and youth, as central to the country's future.

Additionally, she called for greater access to quality healthcare and educational opportunities to allow every Nigerian to thrive, advocating for collective action to empower families and promote healthy living to ensure sustainable development.
