In line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Mandate, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has formed a strategic alliance with the Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding (RH-NHGSF) Programme. 

This collaboration, led by NIMC’s DG/CEO Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote and RH-NHGSF’s National Programme Manager Princess Aderemi Adebowale, aims to ensure that every school child is registered and receives a National Identification Number (NIN), thereby strengthening the effectiveness of the school feeding initiative.

The initiative, according to a press release signed by Kayode Adegoke (Ph.D), Head, Corporate Communications Unit at NIMC, 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, the statement stated.

It added, “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.”

The NIMC, the statement maintains, remains dedicated to leveraging its expertise in identity management to drive sustainable development and equitable access to essential services for all Nigerians.
