NYSC: Solutions To NIN Provided Does Not Exist on NIMC

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has recently made headlines with its decision to make the National Identification Number (NIN) a mandatory requirement for the registration of the 2024 Batches.

This move aligns with the broader national agenda of integrating NIN into various aspects of public administration to ensure accurate identification and curb fraudulent practices.

However, the integration process has not been without its challenges. Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) have faced difficulties validating their NIN on the NYSC registration portal, leading to frustration and confusion.

In response, the NYSC management has acknowledged these issues and is actively collaborating with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to address them.

For PCMs encountering the “NIN provided does not exist on NIMC” error, the NYSC advises downloading the NIMC App and following the instructions to validate their NIN. It’s important for PCMs to ensure that their names on the JAMB Admission Letter match exactly with those on their NIN. Discrepancies should be rectified at the nearest NIMC Office before attempting online registration for the service year.

The NYSC’s commitment to resolving these technical issues is evident, and they urge all PCMs to exercise patience during this period. The integration of NIN is a significant step towards modernizing the registration process and safeguarding the integrity of the NYSC program.

As the NYSC and NIMC work towards a resolution, PCMs are encouraged to stay informed through official NYSC channels and comply with the guidelines provided. This proactive approach will help ensure a smoother registration experience and contribute to the successful mobilization of the 2024.
