What is NIN?

NIN simply means National Identification Number. It consists of 11 non-intelligible numbers randomly chosen and assigned to an individual after the completion of enrolment into the National Identity Database (NIDB).

Once a NIN is assigned to an individual, it can never be reassigned, given, or used by another person – that makes it unique. In the case of the demise of an individual, his/her NIN is retired once a death certificate is presented to the Commission and the individual’s death is established.

The NIN is compulsory or required for JAMB because your National Identification Number (NIN) contains your data (information about you).

The data contained in your National Identification Number (NIN) will be sued to create your 2024 JAMB PROFILE.
