Congrats! It is valid for life. Keep it safe and secure.

The NIN is the equivalent to the American Social Security number (SSN), the Canadian Social Insurance Number (SIN) or the UK National Insurance Number (NI Number, NINO).

@Bolded: No it's not. It has an expiry period of 5 years. I was looking at my card as I typed this response.
@Italicized: Not yet. It's not linked to any form of "social insurance" for now.

No, not really. The card is what expires but not the number. The number stays with you for life until the person is pronounced dead. Even after, the number cannot be reassigned to another person. It's on their website https://www.nimc.gov.ng/about-nin/

In Nigeria, the National Identification Number (NIN) is the unique number for verifying an individual's identity, connecting to his/her biometric detaisl on the National Identity Database.

The NIN is valid for life. It does not expire. Just like your American SSN, Canadian SIN or UK NI Number.

The National e-ID Card is a card and like all cards issued by organizations and governments, they have a validity period. The Card is issued to every registered person 16 years and above.
Your NIN alone works without the e-ID Card.
https://www.nimc.gov.ng/nin-in-simple-images/

All citizens and legal residents in Nigeria, from age zero (birth) and above are eligible to enrol for their NINs.

It is mandatory for every citizen and legal resident to enrol for the National Identification Number (NIN).

https://www.nimc.gov.ng/about-nin/

A national identification number, national identity number, or national insurance number is used by the governments of many countries as a means of tracking their citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents for the purposes of work, taxation, government benefits, health care, and other governmentally-related functions. The number appears on identity documents issued by several countries.

Many countries issued such numbers for a singular purpose, but over time, they become a de facto national identification number. For example, the United States developed its Social Security number (SSN) system [/b]as a means of organizing disbursing of Social Security benefits. [b]However, due to function creep, the number has become used for other purposes to the point where it is almost essential to have one to, among other things, open a bank account, obtain a credit card, or drive a car.

Good afternoon my family on the journey. Please I am asking for a friend. Below is what happened.

She was offered admission for Masters in NB but the student permit was refused, I think because she applied also for her 4 years son who is an American citizen as an accompanying dependant.

She is now considering the PR option since she has another foreign masters from Scotland.

The issue is now on her surname, since she married she has not done change of name to her husband's surname. For some reasons, she is no more comfortable doing change of name which she has my sympathy on the unfolding situation. She would have claimed single but in the student visa application, she indicated married because of her son.

The big question: How will she claim the son is hers since she do not not want to do change of name and not ready to put her husband name in the application?

Veterans, this is a serious issue because I have been trying to wrap my head around the idea to use on this matter.

Now my question, how will she convince visa officer that the boy is hers because the husband cannot surface on the PR application for any reason.

Unless she's divorced.... once you've claimed married, only divorce or death can change that status

this is how people get 5 years ban. If you/she don't want the husband in the application get a divorce. He also must give consent for the child to travel. Change of name after marriage is also.not compulsory

Generally, the maximim CRS with a BSc is 441 with maximum IELTS (w/o siblings, French or extra credential)

33 means losing 20 points.

so 444 is highly unlikely

since you said change of name is not compulsory.

below is an example of passport name they currently hold .

husband; Akani victor yemi
wife. haruna Ruth Kemi
son; Akani samue bunmi.

does this reflect same family since she is not changing name but she can claim unaccompanying spouse.
