NIN is an identification number given to Nigerian citizens only. Linking it to phone numbers and deactivating phone numbers not linked means only Nigeria citizens is eligible to use a sim card in Nigeria. What about those who are on ;
-Visitors visa
-Tourist visa
-Permanent resident
-Student visas
And other categories of visas.

On a norm, these people are not suppose to have a NIN. So how do we expect them to make or receive calls. It doesn't make sense to force anyone to roam. We are not in North Korea for crying out loud

Anyone who stayed in Nigeria for 2 years with valid proof , or has a work permit / residency can get NIN

Their capturing Officer specifically stated this when I went for capturing

Infact if the name on your birth certificate had been changed, they only need DSS clearance to clear you


Well In UAE or Dubai if you want a DU SIM or an Etisalat SIM as a Visa holder, they register you and capture you with a copy of your Passport data page and Visa stamp

Going by that, it means tourists,visitors and students will have to wait 2years to get a phone number since we are not doing the uae method

Most of those in government are idiots.. they don't think before they act.

It's not with the pandemic and rising COVID-19 cases that you threaten to block people's lines with NIN. They end up doing more damage.

Of what use is the NIN linked to sim cards sef? Just to say they are working.
Rubbish!

NCC SIM registration would accept your passport data page if you are a foreigner with a valid visa

I don't think he is digressing , you are the one who does not understand . Your question is how will.foreigners register for a SIM card since it requires NIN , and he clearly stated that their passports will be captured and used in place of NIN , as it's done in other countries
