A shameful charade! You stay out of sight of the kidnappers and fire and the kidnappers released the victims just like that. And you want us to believe this crap. Government should come down heavily on this criminals to stop this menace once and for all, instead of making it lucrative for their 'brothers' by making payment at night and coming to display this low budget action film in the day and think reasonable Nigerians will believe them.

Try and get back the car even if it means returning the 200k. Thereafter, get a lawyer to deal with the matter.

Yenagoa is highly underdeveloped. You only showed the same pictures- Tombia junction, Berger flyover and Alamiesiegha road.

PRESS STATEMENT

FG Approves the Activation of New SIM Registration with Mandatory NIN in line with the Revised National Digital Identity Policy for SIM Card Registration

The Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003, Section 23(a), specifies the role of the Minister to include the formulation, determination and monitoring of the general policy for the communications sector.

In line with this, on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, FNCS, FBCS, FIIM coordinated and led the development of a Revised National Digital Identity Policy for SIM Card Registration in collaboration with all other stakeholders. An earlier Policy was approved on the 4th of February 2020, while the Revised Policy was developed in early March 2021. The final amendments to the revised Policy based on the directives of Mr President to make the use of NIN mandatory for all SIM registration were completed yesterday, 14th of April, 2021.

Prior to that, the key aspects of the draft Policy were presented to the stakeholders at the 4th Review Meeting of the Ministerial Task Force (MTF) on the NIN-SIM registration which held on Friday, 26th of February, 2021. Key stakeholders and members of the MTF who joined the Honourable Minister at the meeting included the EVC/CEO of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), DG/CEO of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), DG/CEO of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and the Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON). Others included the NCC Executive Commissioners for Technical Services and Stakeholder Management, MD/CEOs of MTN, Airtel, EMTS (9Mobile), NTEL, Spectranet and SMILE, as well as the COO of Glo.

Dr Pantami also presented the Revised Policy to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR on Friday, 26th of March, 2021. Mr President made further improvements and endorsed it for implementation. Mr President also commended the Honourable Minister for his commitment in carrying out the responsibility of developing the digital economy sector, including championing the NIN-SIM registration process.

The Policy includes Guidelines on New SIM Acquisition and Activation, SIM Replacement, New SIM Activation for Corporates and Internet-of-Things/Machine-to-Machine (IoT/M2M), amongst others. The possession of a National Identity number will be a prerequisite for each of these categories. For the Corporate registration, institutions will be required to appoint a Telecoms Master (at the minimum of an Executive Management level) to provide the operational Primary NIN representation. The Telecoms Master will also be responsible to ensuring that the users provide their NINs to serve as a Secondary NIN.

For IoT/M2M activations, SIM security protocols would be implemented on the SIM profile to ensure that SIMs can only be used for point to point data services specific to the URL they are working with. All other services will be barred. In the event that a data only service is particular to individual use (eg home car tracking, WiFi, MiFi services, etc), the standard NIN registration process will be followed. A Telecoms Master will also be required for Corporates requiring IoT/M2M activations. The full details of the requirements for each class of service will be made available in due course.
Significant progress has been made in the NIN registration process across the country.

Nonetheless, the Federal Government is committed to supporting all Nigerians and legal residents to obtain a NIN. The biometric verification process has been slower than anticipated, owing largely to the non-adherence of many previous SIM biometric capture processes to the NIMC standards. The Revised Policy will ensure that operators conform to the required standards for biometric capture.
The Guidelines in the Policy have been painstakingly developed and while they are thorough, it should be noted that they have been developed that way in National interest since the SIM is essentially a national resource. Citizens and legal residents are encouraged to bear with the government as the process has been developed in the best interest of the country.

The implementation of the Policy will commence on Monday, 19th of April 2021. The issuance of New SIMs and other suspended activities will resume on the same date, as long as verification is done and the guidelines are fully adhered to. The Honourable Minister has also directed NCC and NIMC to ensure that the provisions of the Policy are strictly followed by all operators and subscribers.

Dr Pantami wishes to thank Nigerians for their patience and compliance with the Federal Government’s directive on the NIN-SIM registration exercise. He reiterated government’s commitment to continually taking decisions aimed at easing the pains of the citizens with regard to issues related to NIN and SIM registration.

Juliet Ibrahim go just ke person. She go just ke person for nothing sake. How can she be this beautiful.

I was lucky, my wife was driving her own car before we got married.

Why did you guys kill the poor animal nah

Advance fee fraud loading.... You will send money for driver and fuel. Guy man go use am free style. Matter go end dia. Car you no go see. Lol.

We still prefer him.

Oga Gumi, go and sit down. All minority ethnic groups in Nigeria are all facing the same thing. Not only the fulanies. This blind support for these bandits is fast eroding Gumi's residual Good will.

Wow! Beautiful.

He didn't debunk the new of his decamping to APC. Also, he didn't mention his commitment and loyalty to PDP. It is clear he is decamping. Forget all those plenty ingilishi.

Like minister, like orderly! You don teach am how to lie nah.

What is a beauty like you doing with this kind of guy that can kill you any moment. Sister, better leave that death trap.

Lesbians are the bomb! If she relates well with you sexually what is the fear about her being a lesbian. All these people condemning her for coming out straight with you could do worse if they find themselves in her shoes. Not many women will be able to stay without s*x for one full year. She is just being human and open to you. Afterall, she is not doing it with a man.

What is Nairaland waiting for, to also suspend Trump's account. Lol. Ah! Trump don suffer. Eyaah.

Juliusmomoh:
I can't say she deserve it...
And at thesame i can't say she don't deserve it.
.
Why ?
.
Even with the way she dress, i can practically tell you she went there and do gra gra....

.
Anyway, the did is already done. Rip rip.,
.

Look at the nonsense you are vomiting. As far as I am concerned you and her killers are of the same caliber. How does her dressing warrants anybody taking her life.

One year after the closure of our land borders Nigeria is in recession. The economy is in a miserable state. What then did we achieve by closing the border.

There is nothing wrong with your dog.

.. and the fact will be esterblished after his administration.

In a nut shell, you will never support any politician again.

This is and the only solution to the longe aged power issue in Nigeria. Individuals, organisations and state government should be allow to generate, store and distribute power.

And see how beautiful their wives look.

Young Lady, leave that man alone. He is just falling back to the last resort. Better still give it time, don't start showing emotions immediately. Be sure he is genuine. He should not be talking about marriage when he has nothing. That's a red flag. Meaning he just wants you to shoulder every thing because he has figured out that you are yet to be married and may find it a bit difficult to cos of the child. Babe shine your eyes. It is wrong to marry out of pity. No start wetin you no go fit finish O.

Obaseki will most likely defect to APC in the coming months. That is my explanation of this position by APC. He must have reached an agreement with them.

Abeg make we hear word. They should tell us 'we have launched come and subscribe' not 'we are preparing for a relaunch'

The problem with power availability in Nigeria today is in the Constitution. Amend the Constitution to allow, states, organisation and even individual to generate and distribute power without the national grid fraud and watch the game change in Nigeria. With the current arrangement, we may never solve the power issue in Nigeria.

Why are you telling us?

What have you gained by killing the poor creature now.

Beautiful woman and daughters.

I love this woman.

See beauty abeg. From mother to children. The husband doesn't know the price of what he has got.
