GOING forward, the Nigerian Communications Commission has revealed that those who failed to link their Subscriber Identity Modules, SIM to their National Identity Numbers, NIN would not be able to obtain some important documents including driving licences and passports.
NCC Director of Public Affairs, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, stated this, saying October 31st was the deadline for linkage.
In his words, “NCC has reminded and urged telecoms consumers to link their NINs with their SIMs before the expiration of the deadline of October 31, 2021, set by the Federal Government.”
“Soon, people without NIN will be denied necessary services that play vital roles in their lives including the acquisition of driving licence, passport.”
Recall that the Federal government had on December 15th, 2020, ordered all telecommunication operators in the country to disconnect every SIM card not synchronized with a valid National Identity Number (NIN) by December 30th.
However, the deadline has consistently been extended as some Nigerians are yet to link their sims due to one circumstance or the other.
