The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has integrated the National Identification Number (NIN) with the Renewed Hope National Home Grown
School Feeding (RH-NHGSF) Programme for transparency in its implementation.
A statement disclosed that the integration fostered by Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote (DG/CEO of NIMC) and Princess Aderemi Adebowale, National Programme Manager, Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding Programme, would ensure that every school child is enrolled and assigned a National Identification Number (NIN).
The statement endorsed by the Head, Corporate Communications Unit, Kayode Adegoke (Ph.D) explained that the initiative is aimed at fostering inclusive
access to the school feeding program, enhancing transparency, and promoting
accountability.
“Under this partnership, the NIMC will work closely with the RH-NHGSF Programme,
which marks a pivotal step toward ensuring the effective implementation of the
school feeding initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
By integrating the NIN registration process into the school feeding program, the
partnership underscores the Federal Government’s commitment to improving
educational and nutritional outcomes for children while advancing the Digital
Public Infrastructure in Nigeria”, Adegoke stated.
He reiterated NIMC’s dedication to leveraging its expertise in identity management to drive sustainable development and equitable access to essential services for all Nigerians.
