The House of Representatives has asked the Federal
Government to extend the deadline for the provision of National Identification
Number by telecommunication service subscribers to 10 weeks.
The House, at the plenary on Wednesday, described the two weeks
given to SIM card users by the Nigerian Communications Commission to provide
their NIN to service providers as grossly inadequate.
The Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, had moved a motion of
urgent public importance to demand more time.
Adopting the motion, the House resolved that the exercise should end on January 28, 2021, as against December 30, 2020.
The NCC had threatened that SIM cards not linked to NIN
issued by the National Identity Management Commission would be blocked.
