The Federal Government has extended the deadline for the provision of the National Identification Number by telecommunication service subscribers.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had last week ordered telecommunications companies to within two weeks block all SIM cards not linked to NIN.
This led to uncontrollable crowds at NIMC offices across the country amidst the second wave of COVID-19.
However, a new deadline was announced in a statement released, on Monday, by the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy.
The statement was jointly signed by the Executive Vice-Chairman, Nigerian Communications Commission, Umar Danbatta; and Director-General, National Identity Management Commission, Aliyu Aziz.
