The Federal Government has removed indefinitely the earlier deadline given for the NIN-SIM linkage.
Recall, the federal government approved an extension of the NIN-SIM linkage deadline to the 31st of March, 2022.
However, in a joint statement by the Head, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Mr. Kayode Adegoke and Director, Public Affairs, NCC, Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde said, in preparation for the enforcement, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Pantami urges citizens and legal residents to use the next few days to ensure that they complete the linkage.
To this end, the Minister has further directed that the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) should offer enrolment services round-the-clock for the next few days. Prof Pantami also thanks all those who have completed their NIN-SIM linkage.
On behalf of the 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.
