The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has advised telecom users in Nigeria to link their Subscribers Identification Module (SIM) with their National Identification Number (NIN), just as the Federal Government directed.

The Commission added that a complete linkage of the SIM-NIN, will save subscribers from getting disconnected with their loved ones.

The Nigerian Communications Commission is the independent regulatory authority for the telecommunications industry in Nigeria.

“The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is calling on Subscribers yet to complete their SIM-NIN linkage to do so in order to avoid being disconnected.”

“stay on- link your NIN to your SIM to avoid disconnection from the content/people/things you like” the Commission advised.

The deadline for the SIM-NIN linkage is October 31, 2021.
