You will still swear affidavit amongst other procedures including your NIN.

So, if you want to welcome back your sim, you'll have to visit NIMC office first, then proceed to your SP outlet to complete the registration.... Or You register the sim then proceed to NIMC office to verify your NIN on the sim....



I hope with time, the FG will not be taxing us for having more than two sims....

I love the idea of data collation...But i doubt if we have a system to protect the data from ethical hackers ...

After this whole process is fully adopted n forgotten about,if you eventually loss your SIM something that you presume would now be a very easy SIM replacement process would turn into another hectic process field with unwarranted and undue exaction.
