The Federal Government has ordered the immediate stoppage of enrolment activities at the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Headquarters.
Instead of the NIN enrolment at the NIMC headquarters, the FG also ordered the reactivation of 20 centers within the FCT.
According to Kayode Adegoke, Head, Corporate Communications, residents are to visit any of the reactivated centre to enroll for the National Identification Number (NIN).
The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Ali Isa Pantami had on Friday advised prospective enrollees to disconnect the City Centres by availing themselves of other enrolment centres or places in other parts of the major cities across the country, especially those in Abuja and Lagos.
Similarly, there has been no extension of deadline (19, January) by the government for linking of Sim cards with NIN.
The Federal Government through the Nigerian Communication Commission had ordered telecommunications companies to deactivate telephone lines of subscribers who failed to link their phones to their National Identity Number.
