In preparation for the enforcement of the directive by the Nigerian government, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami), has urged citizens and legal residents to use the next few days to ensure that they complete the linkage.
The Federal Government had last year approved an extension of the NIN-SIM linkage deadline to the 31st of March, 2022.
To this end, the Minister has further directed that the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) should offer enrolment services round-the-clock for the next few days.
Prof Pantami also thanked all those who have completed their NIN-SIM linkage.
Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, and the Director-General/CEO of NIMC, Engr. Aliyu Aziz, on behalf of the Minister, have urged citizens and legal residents to take advantage of the window to complete the process of enrolment and verification within the next few days.
