The National Identity Management Commission has advised Nigerians
to avoid sharing their National Identification Number with unauthorised
persons.
In a statement issued on its official Twitter handle, NIMC
said that the NIN when shared wrongly could be used to “perpetrate fraud”
against the owner.
“Your NIN is your digital identity and you will be held
liable for offences committed by individuals with sim cards linked to your
NIN,” NIMC said.
The commission advised that persons engaged in such
fraudulent acts should be reported to the National Identity Management
Commission.
The registration for NIN commenced, a few days ago, after a
Federal Government directive mandated telecommunications to suspend sim cards
not linked to NIN.
