About 11.2 million active Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards yet to be linked to their owners’ National Identity Numbers (NINs) will be blocked today. Telecom operators, who confirmed this yesterday, said this complied with the directive by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). The Executive Vice Chairman, of NCC, Aminu Maida, had earlier yesterday reiterated the commission’s directive to telecom operators to block phone lines not linked to NINs by February 28, 2024. He spoke in Kaduna at the NCC’s Special Day during the ongoing 45th Kaduna International Trade Fair. Maida, represented by NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Mouka, said as a matter of critical national security, telecom consumers must link their SIMs to their NINs.
