Simple steps that subscribers can take to link their phone numbers with their National Identity Number (NIN)

Nigerian telecommunication service providers have announced simple steps that subscribers can take to link their phone numbers with their National Identity Number (NIN). It had been reported that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) mandated telcos in the country to block all SIM cards that are not registered with NIN within 2 weeks. This means that failure of the subscribers to update their registration records with operators with NIN will lead to the blocking or disconnection of the line by December 31, 2020, though there has been a huge public outcry about the sudden announcement of the policy and short time frame to implement it. The Nigerian Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has also directed that subscribers can link their NIN to more than one sim card.

BBN: Charley Boy Backlashes Gov. Diri Over Nengi’s Political Appointment Whilst Snubbing A First Class Law Student (Photo)

He shared a photo of a young Lady who he disclosed has completed the school of Law with first class but wasn’t honored or given a post to empower the youth.

He complained about the fact that he rather gave all special and honorable positions to a BBNaija Star who allegedly completed with a third class to be the face of Bayelsa State in girl child development.

Recall that, a few weeks ago, Nengi and Triky Tee were appointed as the Special Senior Assistants to the governor of Bayelsa State.

According to him, the decision of the governor’s action is considered an irony and a misplaced moral priority for him to choose a reality show runner-up as the model of the Bayelsa Girl Child over a law student with first-class honors.
