According to NASSCO, this integration of NINs with the NSR is expected to bring about a substantial boost in the accuracy of the register. By leveraging the unique identification provided by the NIN, the process will minimize duplication and ensure that social protection programs reach the intended vulnerable populations. This enhanced accuracy is critical for effective resource allocation and for maximizing the impact of social safety net interventions across the nation.

The linking of NINs to the National Social Register will also significantly improve access to social protection programs. With a more reliable and comprehensive database, identifying and enrolling eligible beneficiaries will become more streamlined and efficient. This will reduce bottlenecks and ensure that those in need can access the support they require in a timely manner, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable social protection system.

In conclusion, the completion of the stepdown trainings and the subsequent linking of NINs to the National Social Register, as spearheaded by NASSCO, represent a pivotal development in Nigeria's social protection framework.
