In a landmark development aimed at improving access to essential government services, the 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗼-𝗜𝗷𝗮𝗶𝘆𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗨𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗯𝗶 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝘇𝗮𝘁 (𝗨𝗔𝗛), has successfully facilitated the establishment of a 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗡𝗜𝗠𝗖) 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 within the local government area.

This achievement followed the Chairman’s recent high-level engagement with the Lagos State office of the NIMC in Alausa, Ikeja, after a technical meeting held on Wednesday, 7th January, 2025.

The initiative aligns squarely with Prince Hamzat’s 𝙃.𝙀.𝙀.𝘿.𝙎 𝘼𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙄𝙛𝙖𝙠𝙤-𝙄𝙟𝙖𝙞𝙮𝙚, and with a strong focus on connecting residents to critical state and national services while enhancing service delivery at the grassroots.

For years, residents of Ifako-Ijaiye endured considerable hardship, travelling long distances to other Local Government Areas and more frequently to the heavily congested NIMC Centre in Alausa, Ikeja to enroll, correct, or update their National Identification Number (NIN), including the resolution of suspended records.

In response to these persistent challenges and mounting public concerns, Prince Hamzat took decisive steps to bring NIN services closer to the people. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗡𝗜𝗠𝗖 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗼-𝗜𝗷𝗮𝗶𝘆𝗲, when fully established, is expected to significantly reduce travel stress for residents, ease congestion at the Alausa centre, and improve efficiency in NIN registration and data management.

Commending the initiative, the leadership of the NIMC expressed strong support for the Chairman’s proactive intervention.
Mr. Gbolahan Tobiloba, State Coordinator of NIMC (Lagos-West), alongside Mr. Lasisi Mikhail Oladele, Regional Coordinator, lauded Prince Hamzat’s commitment and leadership, noting that the centre will be fully integrated into the state network to effectively serve the Local Government.

In his remarks, the Executive Chairman of Ifako-Ijaiye LGA, Prince Usman Akanbi Hamzat assured NIMC officials of readiness of the Local Government to immediately provide a conducive accommodation, as well as the necessary facilities and tools, to ensure the swift establishment and seamless operation of the centre.

This collaborative milestone between Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) represents a major boost for residents, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to people-centred governance and improved access to vital national identity services.
