NIN-SIM Linkage Non-Compliance: Telecom operators begin disconnection of 66m lines

Telecom operators across Nigeria have commenced the disconnection of approximately 66 million phone lines following the expiration of the government’s directive to link National Identification Numbers (NIN) with Subscriber Identity Modules (SIM).

This move marks a significant enforcement of the policy aimed at enhancing national security and streamlining the country’s identity verification process.
