According to them, the meeting approved a three-week extension for subscribers with NIN, from December 30 to January 19, 2021.

Also, the meeting agreed that registration for subscribers without NIN should be extended by six weeks, from December 30 to February 9, 2021.

“NIMC has provided strategies to enable citizens [to] attend the registration in full compliance with COVID-19 protocols – particularly the use of face masks which remains mandatory and maintenance of social distancing.

“The president appreciated Nigerians for their patience and commitment to update their Identities; The federal government also thanked all stakeholders for their compliance with the directives.

“Mr. President has also commended the efforts of the task force and urged all stakeholders to take advantage of the extension to link their SIM card with their NIN. USSD and verification charges remain suspended during these extensions,” the statement said.
