The Federal Government on Sunday insisted that the deadlines for the registration of all Subscribers Identification Modules Numbers were still in force. It also declared that the NIN was mandatory for diplomats residing in Nigeria, as well as for all other lawful residents across the country.
The Director, Public Affairs NCC, Ikechukwu Adinde, while fielding questions from newsmen said nothing has changed." The deadline is still in force, there is no update for now and just like I told you last week if there's any change it will be communicated", he said.
Recall that on December 15, 2020, the Federal Government declared that December 30, 2020, all SIMs that were not registered with valid NINs on the network of Telecommunication Companies would be blocked. It was later extended to December 30, 2020 deadline following opposition against the earlier announcement and gave a three-week extension for subscribers with NIN from December 30, 2020, to January 19, 2021.
