The Federal Government has urged Nigerians to link their National
Identification Number, NIN, to their Subscriber Identity Module, SIM,
without delay.
The Federal Government said it is ready to enforce the implementation
of its NIN-SIM linkage as the deadline for the verification exercise
ended yesterday.
It has however given telecommunication subscribers a couple of days to
ensure that their SIMs are linked to their NINs.
Prior to this, the FG had extended the deadline for the SIM-NIN
verification exercise from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
According to the government, phone subscribers who do not make the
linkage may lose access to telecommunication services.
