Due to lingering technical hitch occasioned by
non-availability of the National Identity Number (NIN) verification portal, the
National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is now promoting tokenization of
verification via platforms, reports ITREALMS.
ITREALMS reports
that wildcard subdomain allows to point all non-existing subdomains to a
specific folder in any given account, thereby enabling your browser to show all
the same content that has been preloaded to the folder set for the wildcard
subdomain.
The technical hitch on NIN, ITREALMS gathered, has remained
unresolved for over eight days and may not abate soon, hence the Commission
came up with this alternative.
NIMC in a press statement available to ITREALMS, acknowledged that its NIN
portal has been down due alleged maintenance by one of the commission’s network
service providers.
This claim has pitched industry watchers against the
commission as they had earlier claimed to have multiple layers of backups.
Meanwhile, NIMC said, “the public can make use of the
alternative Tokenisation verification platform.”

The Commission advised those interested in the tokenization to
explore a wild subdomain referred to as “Tokenisation
platform”
For more information, NIMC directed the public to visit ‘https://wild.nimc.gov.ng.’
ITREALMS recalls
that temporarily unavailability of NIN
verification portal affects mobile network service providers, the Nigerian
Immigration Service (NIS), financial institutions, especially banks to name a
few; to verify the National Identity Number of their customers before attending
to them, in line with the Federal Government’s directive as part of measures to
tame insecurity and illicit flow of funds.
“The commission apologises for any inconvenience this might cause our esteemed customers, as all hands are on deck to ensure speedy restoration,” part of the press statement read.
