The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced the successful completion of the National Identification Number (NIN) linkage to all phone numbers in the country.
According to the Executive Vice-Chairman of the NCC, Aminu Maida, every phone number in Nigeria is now associated with a verified NIN.
Maida made the announcement during the 2024 Annual Corporate Governance Conference in Lagos State on Thursday.
According to PUNCH, he acknowledged the difficulties encountered during the process, stating, “There is no phone number that we cannot associate with a verified NIN. Not just a number, but a number that has been verified.”
Maida emphasised the importance of the recently completed NIN-SIM linkage initiative, explained how the federal government’s policy aims to reduce crime and enhance national security.
He stated, “We have successfully implemented the federal government’s 2020 policy, linking every phone number to a NIN.
“While it may have been challenging for Nigerians, we must recognise its benefits. Today, every phone number is connected to a verified NIN, not just any number, but one that has been fully authenticated,” he added.
