Commemorating the 5th Identity Day with the theme “Identity Concerns All, and It Is for All,” the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is extending an invitation to students from Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary institutions across Nigeria to participate in a contest involving essays, poetry, or artwork.
The topics will revolve around the core concept of identity, with specific guidelines tailored to each student’s educational level. Submissions can be sent either via email or directly to designated NIMC offices.
In collaboration, the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) are enthusiastically marking the significant event of the 5th Identity Day.
This year’s celebration, centered around the enlightening theme “Identity Concerns All, and It Is for All,” calls upon young writers, poets, and artists from all corners of the Federation to step up and exhibit their creative abilities.
