The Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission, Abisoye Coker-Odusote, has approved the promotion of 523 staff members in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The exercise is part of the statutory performance reward system for staff who met the requirements outlined in the Public Service Rules during the 2025 promotion cycle.
In a post by NIMC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, posted on its X handle on Tuesday, the agency said, “The promotion saw two staff members elevated to the Director cadre (GL 17), eight to Deputy Director (GL 16), and 35 to Assistant Director (GL 15)
“Additionally, thirty-five staff were promoted to Chief Identity Officer (GL 14), 109 to Assistant Chief Identity Officer (GL 13), 113 to Principal Identity Officer (GL 12), 82 to Senior Identity Officer (GL 10), and 130 to Identity Officer 1 (GL 9).”
”In her remarks, Coker-Odusote congratulated the promoted staff and urged them to view the promotion as an opportunity to serve the country more effectively. She reiterated NIMC’s zero-tolerance stance on extortion, warning staff to desist from any form of corrupt practice.”
The DG also encouraged all commission employees to work diligently in 2026 to ensure the successful implementation of the National Identification Number (NIN) project. She reaffirmed her commitment to staff welfare and the dignity of labour.
