The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced a review of the pricing structure for all its services.
The NIMC announced the price changes in a statement on Thursday, signed by Kayode Adegoke, its head of corporate communications.
The commission stated that the new prices will take effect immediately, but did not specify whether Nigerians will pay more or less for its services.
However, TheCable understands that the new prices will be uploaded on the commission’s website from tomorrow (Friday).

Speaking on the rationale for the decision, the NIMC said the move aims to align with prevailing operational costs and industry benchmarks while ensuring affordability for Nigerians.
The commission stated that the revised rates, resulting from a comprehensive review, are intended to sustain the quality and integrity of its services.
“NIMC warns all Front-End Partners (FEPs) to adhere strictly to the new pricing structure. Any FEP found charging more than the approved rates will face sanctions, including license revocation,” the statement reads.
