The Federal Government has ordered telecommunications companies to immediately bar all outgoing calls for all Nigerians who have failed to link Subscribers Identity Modules( SIM) with their National Identity Numbers( NIN).
It said enforcement of the policy begins from Monday April 4, 2022 as part of necessary steps for security across the nation.
It added it had in the past two years shifted enforcement of the policy at multi times to ensure Nigerians and residents citizens were captured in the database of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
A statement signed on behalf of the government by the Director of Public Affairs of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde and the Director of Corporate Communications of NIMC, Mr Kayode Adegoke noted that 125 million SIMs have so far been linked with NIN.
