29 Million SIMs Not Yet Linked To NINs As Deadline Expires Today by UtopiaDream(op): 1:45pm On Jan 19, 2021

About 29 million telecom users are yet to link their National Identity Numbers to their SIM cards even as the first deadline given to subscribers expires Tuesday.

A top federal government official told Daily Trust on Monday that about 176m SIM cards had been linked to their owners’ NINs.

The government had given January 19 and February 9 deadlines for subscribers already with NINs and those without NINs respectively to link their SIMs with their unique identity numbers.

The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ibrahim Pantami’s spokesperson, Uwa Suleiman, did not respond to Daily Trust’s enquiry seeking to know what would be the fate of those who failed to do the linkage before the deadline.

The Nigerian Communications Commission had said there would not be mass disconnection of telecom subscribers as a result of the ongoing linkage of NIN records to SIM Registration, Igbere TV reports.

“A recent survey conducted in Nigeria has shown that on average, there are now approximately 4 to 5 SIMs to every human subscriber.

“This explains the basis of allowing the linkage of up to 7 SIMs to 1 unique NIN in the recently launched Federal Government Portal”, NCC had said in a recent statement.

They should do their worst.We all know how difficult it is to get registered. During election machines will be available on every street but now the machines to register is just about ten in some states.
There shouldn't have been deadline at all. It should be a continuous process.

it's not a threat it's a promise mark my words. because if they do hmm, many business will stop the economy will no more function they should have a rethink on the danger they're about putting the country into.
