The Federal Government has barred all outgoing calls on every SIM card that is not linked to the National Identification Number (NIN) of the SIM card owner.
The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ibrahim Pantami, who gave the order Monday to bar outgoing calls on every unlinked Subscriber Identification Module (SIM card), also ordered the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the telecoms industry regulator, to direct all telecoms operators to begin deactivation of all unlinked SIM cards with immediate effect, insisting that all telecoms subscribers must comply with the NIN-SIM linkage Policy of the federal government.
The federal government, however, commended Nigerians for the compliance level in registering and linking their SIM to their NIN, saying that 125 million SIMs have had their NINs submitted for immediate linkage, verification and authentication and that the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has issued over 78 million unique NINs till date.
