The Federal Government has urged Nigerian citizens and legal residents in the country to use the next few days to ensure that they complete their NIN-SIM linkage in preparation for the enforcement of the deadline for linkage.
Recall that the Federal Government had approved an extension of the NIN-SIM linkage deadline to the 31st of March, 2022.
But the Federal Government through the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami) has further directed that the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) should offer enrolment services round-the-clock for the next few days.
In a statement jointly signed by Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde, Director, Public Affairs of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Mr. Kayode Adegoke, Head, Corporate Communications of the Nigeria Identity Management Commission (NIMC), the Honourable Minister also thanked all those who have completed their NIN-SIM linkage.
“On behalf of the Honourable Minister, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, and the Director-General/CEO of NIMC, Engr. Aliyu Aziz, urge citizens and legal residents to take advantage of the window to complete the process of enrolment and verification within the next few days,” the statement read in part.
