“Effective September 15, 2024, the Commission expects that no SIM operating in Nigeria will be without a valid NIN,” Reuben Muoka, the director of public affairs at the Commission, said in the statement.
“We urge all members of the public who have not yet completed their NIN-SIM linkage or who have faced issues due to verification mismatches to visit their service providers promptly to update their details before the deadline. Alternatively, the approved self-service portals are available for this purpose.”
