The Federal Government has extended the deadline for
Nigerians to register and link their National Identification Number (NIN) to
their SIM cards before February 9, 2021.
This information was posted on the official Twitter handle
of the NIMC.
The NIMC had initially given a January 19 deadline for those
with NIN and February 9 for those without NIN.
The tweet reads: “All Nigerians and legal residents are
advised to enroll for their national identification number (NIN) and link them
before February 9th, 2021.
Enroll for your national identification NUMBER (NIN)
today!!!
“Please remember, NIN enrollment is FREE.”
Earlier on Tuesday, the Nigerian Communications Commission
(NCC) released a statement signed by its Director of Public Affairs, Dr.
Ikechukwu Adinde.
Adinde said at the end of a review meeting on January 18,
2021, the Technical Implementation Committee reported significant progress in
the ongoing NIN-SIM linkage exercise.
A total of 47.8 million NINs have been received by the
mobile operators, at an average of three to four SIMs per subscriber.
