Abstract
An infographic post introducing the NIMC Act 2026, framed around the principle "one person, one identity, one number," as part of Nigeria's digital identity reform under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Description
An infographic thread (part 1 of 2) shared to X (Twitter) by the official Presidency Nigeria account, tagging @nimc_ng, under the hashtags #RenewedHopeAgenda and #DigitalIdentity. The tweet introduces the NIMC Act 2026 as "Nigeria's Digital Identity Revolution," with the tagline "one person, one identity, one number." The accompanying graphic panels state that a National Identification Number (NIN) will be required for accessing "every key door," including passports, banking, land transactions, pensions, tax payments, and all government services, and that penalties for identity theft or unauthorised access have been raised, with fines reaching ₦20 million and a minimum of five years imprisonment.
