There is a directive given by the Federal Ministry of Trades & Investment to eligible applicants of the PCGS through BOI (Bank of Industry), the management organization responsible for disbursing the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme to verify their NIN.
However, it is noticed that a lot of prospective beneficiaries are finding it difficult to update their NIN due to network glitches.
It could be recalled that earlier opening of the FGGrantLoan site for NIN update became an herculean tasks for lots of applicants as many found it almost impossible to verify their NIN.
Shortlisted beneficiaries were told that upon successful enlistment into the program, they will receive a verified text message asking them to Dial *5141*7*7 # and follow the prompt or go to the link provided to carryout their NIN update which most people could not do.
However, as at the time of writing this report; it was discovered that the managing authorities of the program have been able to successfully resolve these technical glitches with the addition of an "Alternative Method of Verification" button on the site for smooth and easy NIN update for applicants who could not earlier do so.
Thus, regarding this update; it is pertinent to take note of the following:
1. Open any strong browser of your choice.
2. Make sure to have a strong network phone maybe 4G or 5G to access the link.
3. Go to the link provided via text and tap on verify HERE.
4. Wait for it to load and access the NIN Verification window, you will see two options
A) Phone number
B) Use Alternative method
Tap on option B, and it will ask for your SURNAME, BVN & NIN. Input all information correctly and tap SUBMIT and you will get a reply stating your NIN has been updated successfully.
Please share this information to help others verify their NIN successfully.
