I don't think they have started selling and if they are selling expect it to be expensive

Does this mean that when you need to register a new sim card all you need to provide is an ID and your NIN number?

Because it would be stupid to provide and NIN number with all the information and still fill some stupid form with the same information.

It continues to amaze me how sheepish MOST people on earth are.

Was there a “ban”? Lol.

You “MUST“ do NIN too.

Do you know that is against these of the nation because Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Internet Services (ISPs) have stopped selling or activating SIMs following an order by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The telecom regulator states that it wants to begin a fresh audit of the SIM registration exercise of September 2019 on the direction of the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy.
The ICT minister also enjoins all subscribers to get their National Identity Numbers (NIN) and submit to the network operators as directed

They are still selling secretly

The Nigerian federal government intends to verify if all
Mobile Network Operators have followed the required standards for SIM registration and the issuing and sales of new SIM cards will be temporarily suspended until the exercise is complete.


MTN has since resumed the sales of new SIM cards....

I know of 9mobile....You can get a new sim cards at almost all 9mobile experience centers nationwide. Not sure of the price but it can't be more than #200. You must have NIN to be able to purchase a sim card now...it's the new requirement set by the NCC.
