The Nigerian Communications Commission earlier issued a two-week ultimatum to telecommunication operators to block all SIM cards that are not registered with the National Identity Numbers, as earlier reported by Nairametrics.
Following the recent directive, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) urged the general public to beware of fraudsters and scammers who are on the prowl to swindle unsuspecting people. To avoid this, NIMC urged the public not to click on any unverifiable link requesting for NIN.

How to check or retrieve your NIN Number
In lieu of the recent NCC directive, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has urged the public and citizens who are already enrolled in the NIMC scheme but have lost their NIN Number to dial *346# to retrieve the NIN. The USSD code is available for NIN retrieval on MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile numbers.

- For those people whose SIM card used for the registration of NIN have been reallocated, NIMC urged such people to visit their telecom registration centres to have their NIN merged with their current SIM card.
- For name modification, individuals are urged to visit NIMC office and pay the sum of N500 via Remitta. Further breakdown showed that for those adding or changing a new name, newspaper publication and court affidavit are required, while those with misspelt name require no newspaper publication.
- Those who are yet to enrol are advised to visit https://www.nimc.gov.ng/ or click HERE and visit the nearest enrolment centre to complete the registration.

Do people lose their senses when they occupy some position of authority? Imagine the NCC asking millions of Nigerians to obtain NIN within two weeks starting December 16 and ending December 30, a period of long public holidays and also yuletide. No wonder a friend said that the sole objective of governance in Nigeria is mainly to make life very tedious for the masses. For this goof,l say SHAME on to the members of the NCC who gave the unresonable altimatum and kudos to the National Assembly.
Apology mr. Minister! Your directive lack legal backing. I have registered for national I’d for about four years now yet no I’d card have been issued. Yet you give two week ultimatum. Square pegs in round hole politicians!
