The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has reminded Nigerians and legal residents that the September 14 deadline given by the Federal Government for the linkage of the National Identification Number (NIN) with the Subscribers Identity Modules (SIM) remains sacrosanct.
The commission said its equipment and workers in the over 10,000 registration outlets across the country and in the diaspora are working seamlessly without a hitch for enrolment, verification and authentication, as well as modification of data.
A statement by its Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, reads: “The commission wishes to reiterate that over 10,000 NIN enrolment centres across the country and in the diaspora are open for NIN enrolment. Nigerians and legal residents can visit any of the centres to enrol and be issued the NIN.
“This assurance is given in light of the September 14, 2024, deadline for the NIN-SIM linkage.
“The commission reaffirms its commitment to zero tolerance for all forms of extortion and unethical practices and that NIN enrolment is free.”
