The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced September 14 as the “final deadline” for the NIN-SIM linkage exercise.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the NCC directed all mobile network operators (MNOs) to complete the mandatory verification and linkage of SIMs to NINs by September 14, 2024.
The commission added that over 153 million SIMs have been successfully linked to a NIN so far, “reflecting an impressive compliance rate of 96 percent, a substantial increase from 69.7 percent in January 2024”.
