The Association of Telephone, Cable TV and Internet Subscribers has asked the government to stop exposing Nigerians to the risk of losing their lives all in the name of getting National Identity Numbers and linking it to their SIM cards.
The subscriber association said the insistence of the government on the February 9 deadline for the full linkage of National Identification Numbers had led to human deluge at various NIN registration centres in the country.
