NCC Announces Final Deadline For Sim Linkage
The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has announced September 14 as the “final deadline” for the linkage of National Identification Number (NIN) and subscriber Identification Modules (SIM).
This was contained in a statement issued by the NCC spokesman, Reuben Muoka, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mouka said over 153 million SIMs have been successfully linked to their NINs, “reflecting an impressive compliance rate of 96 per cent, a substantial increase from 69.7 percent in January 2024.”
“We urged 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. The NCC also reminds the public that the sale and purchase of pre-registered SIMs are criminal offences punishable by imprisonment and fines.
“We encourage citizens to report any such activities to the Commission via our toll-free line (622) or through our social media platforms,” the statement read.
