NCC REVEALS WHY SIM CARDS PREVIOUSLY LINKED TO NIN WERE BARRED
Many subscribers have complained that they had previously linked their NIN with their SIM cards years ago but the NCC official said some lines were barred because the information on the NIN did not tally with what the customers registered with their SIM cards.
He said subscribers would have to visit the outlets of their service providers to validate their NINs and resolve other matters.
“For now, it requires those physical visits to the stations to get it verified and validated but in the future, we hope that this will be done virtually,” Mouka added.
The NCC had last week directed telecom service providers to bar subscribers who failed to link their phone numbers to their NIN by February 28.
