FG extends NIN-SIM linkage till June 30
The federal government says the issuance of new SIM cards will resume on April 19, 2021.
Isa Pantami, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, made this known in a statement released by Femi Adeluyi, his technical aide (information technology), on Thursday.
In December 2020, the government suspended it as it embarked on an audit of the subscriber registration database. Pantami announced that the country is set to implement a revised national digital identity policy for SIM card registration, adding that the national identification number (NIN) is mandatory at all levels.
