The NIMC had initially given a January 19 deadline for those with NIN and February 9 for those without NIN.
The tweet reads: “All Nigerians and legal residents are advised to enroll for their national identification number (NIN) and link them before February 9th, 2021.

A total of 47.8 million NINs have been received by the mobile operators, at an average of three to four SIMs per subscriber.
