In alignment with the Renewed Hope Mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced a strategic partnership with the Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding (RH-NHGSF) Programme.
A statement by the Head, Corporate Communications Unit of NIMC, Dr Kayode Adegoke, said this collaboration, fostered by NIMC's Director General and Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote and Princess Aderemi Adebowale, National Programme Manager, Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding Programme, will ensure that every school child is enrolled and assigned a National Identification Number (NIN).
This initiative is aimed at fostering inclusive access to the school feeding program, enhancing transparency, and promoting accountability.
Under this partnership, 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.
NIMC, according to Adegoke, remains dedicated to leveraging its expertise in identity management to drive sustainable development and equitable access to essential services for all Nigerians. NNL.
