The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) has announced a partnership with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to integrate enrollees’ data registered under the Employees’ Compensation Scheme (ECS) into the national identity database.
This initiative aims to enhance efficiency, security, and transparency in processing employee claims under the scheme.
Managing Director of NSITF, Mr. Oluwaseun Faleye, made this announcement on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to NIMC Director-General, Mrs. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, in Abuja.
He emphasized the importance of data integration, particularly in linking employees’ bio-data with their National Identity Numbers (NIN) to facilitate easy validation and verification of registered workers.
Strengthening NSITF’s Efficiency and Broadening Social Security
Faleye explained that the partnership would significantly enhance NSITF’s operations, improving the database system and strengthening the social security framework in Nigeria.
He noted that the collaboration would boost NSITF’s efficiency, ensuring that accurate employee data is readily available for verification.
“The partnership will help improve NSITF’s efficiency and enhance its processes as regards database management, thereby broadening social security,” he said. He further highlighted that NIMC’s extensive research and data collection across the country would provide valuable demographic insights, helping NSITF to optimize its Employees’ Compensation Scheme.
