According to the report, the federal government yesterday extended the connection of SIM cards with the national identification number, NIN registration, by eight weeks.
For subscribers who have not connected their NIN to their SIM cards, the lines would be blocked on February 9, the initial deadline for connecting SIMs with their national identification number, NIN.
Earlier in Dec 2020, the Federal Government declared that after December 30, 2020, all SIMs that were not registered with valid NINs on the network of telecommunications companies would be blocked. It later extended the deadline following widespread opposition against the earlier announcement and gave three weeks’ extension for subscribers with NIN from December 30, 2020, to January 19, 2021.
It also gave six weeks’ extension for subscribers without NIN from December 30, 2020, to February 9, 2021. Now, it has been extended again till April 6, 2021.
It may still be extended considering the fact that a large proportion of the populace are yet to enrol for NIMC, not because they don’t want to but because the crowd in each allocated centres are unbearable.
More to come
