Reps direct NCC to extend NIN update on Sim cards to January

Must read

The House of Representatives has directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to extend the deadline for the provision of National Identification Number (NIN) by telecommunication service subscribers to 10 weeks.

The House, at the plenary on Wednesday, described the two weeks given to SIM card users by the Nigerian Communications Commission to provide their NIN to service providers as grossly inadequate.

The Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, had moved a motion of urgent public importance to demand more time.
