Large crowd thronging the web portal of the National Identity Management Commission for the process of obtaining their National Identity Number led to the crash of the portal on Monday.
Many people who wanted to print the enrollment form, which is a major requirement for registering for the National Identity Number were unable to do so and got stranded.
Checks showed that www.nimc.gov.ng as well as www3.nimc.gov.ng displayed error messages.
The commission reopened its enrolment centres on Tuesday for NIN registration after they were shut the previous day.
