The National Identity Number (NIN) is
an eleven-digit unique number
assigned to everyone who registered
for National ID Card.
Before now, the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC)
has informed Nigerians to provide
their NIN for SIM card upgrade, as
those who failed to do so will have
their lines (SIM card) blocked.
On the 14th of December 2020, the
minister of Communications and
Digital Economy (CDE) Dr. Isa A.I,
had a meeting with all related bodies,
concerning the linkage of NIN to SIM
Cards. He further instructed the
stoppage of new SIM registration in
the country.
From the briefing, the given
conclusions were drawn;
1. The termination of new simple
card.
2. Compulsory record update on all
sim.
3. Users mandatory submission of
NIN number within two weeks,
starting from the day this
decision was made.
