It said an approval was given to extend the period of the NIN-SIM linkage to May 6, 2021.

“The request for the extension was presented to President Muhammadu Buhari and he endorsed it.

“With each individual having an average of three to four SIMs, the total number of SIMs tied to NINs would be close to the total number of registered SIMs in the country,” NCC said.

The commission also disclosed that the number of monthly enrolments increased “significantly” to about 2.6 million registrations.

“There has also been a remarkable increase in the number of enrolment centres across the country with about 3,800 centres available for enrolments. There are also many more new centres in the pipeline,” it said.

The statement added that the decision was taken at a meeting presided over by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, and attended by key stakeholders in the industry.
