After approximately 4 months of ban on the registration of a new SIM card in Nigeria, the ban was lifted and the sale of a new SIM card starts yesterday.

Nigerians and foreigners will be able to purchase and register new subscriber identity modules (SIMs) from yesterday, April 19th.

This development followed the Nigerian Federal Government’s resolve to lift the ban on new SIM registration on April 15, 2021.

Dr Isa Pantami, Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and the Digital Economy, alongside other industry stakeholders, has made the National Identity Number (NIN) mandatory for acquiring and activating new SIMs for individuals, corporates, and SIM replacement.

According to the statement, possession of a National Identity Number (NIN) will be a prerequisite for new SIM acquisition and activation, SIM replacement, new SIM activation for corporates, and Internet-of-Things/Machine-to-Machine (IoT/M2M), amongst others.

You can simply walk into any experience centre closest to you register for a new SIM or request for a sim replacement with a valid NIN number.

Let us know if the process of activating a new sim was easy for you.
