How to link your NIN (National Identification Number) to your mobile number.

The following decisions were taken for immediate implementation by all Network Operators:

1.​ Affirmation of the earlier directive to totally suspend the registration of NEW SIMs by all operators.

2.​ Operators to require ALL their subscribers to provide valid National Identification Number (NIN) to update SIM registration records.

3.​ The submission of NIN by subscribers to take place within two weeks (from today December 16, 2020 and end by 30 December 2020).

4. ​After the deadline, ALL SIMs without NINs are to be blocked from the networks.

5. ​A Ministerial Task Force comprising the Minister and all the CEOs (among others) as members is to monitor compliance by all networks.

6. ​Violations of this directive will be met by stiff sanctions, including the possibility of withdrawal of operating license.
