Reacting to a publication that NIMC lost 7.9 million NIN records of Nigerians, the commission said the write up was deceptive and misleading.

“The Management of NIMC assures Nigerians that the database remains intact and impenetrable and no NIN records is missing.

“The NIN is an 11-digit unique number.

“We, therefore, urge Nigerians to ignore the said report, which is the product of the writer’s infantile imagination. (NAN)
