How To Link Your Phone Numbers With NIN

How to link your phone numbers with NIN as stated recently NCC has been shared by Nigeria online news.

Nigeria online news recalls that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Wednesday gave the country’s telecom operators two weeks to block all SIM cards that are not registered with National Identity Numbers (NINs).

This online news outlet understands that if you do not, your line will be blocked or disconnected before December 31, 2020.

However, to avoid entering a new year with a locked sim, please read this article carefully.

What is NIN?

NIN is a set of eleven digits assigned to a person, by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), after a successful registration.

Enrollment consists of recording a person’s demographic data and capturing ten (10) fingerprints, head-to-shoulders facial image, and digital signature.

The information is used to collate existing data in the National Identity Database to confirm that there is no previous entry of the same data.

How to get your NIN?

If you have registered for your NIN, you must have your ballot with you.

However, if you have lost it, you must pay N500 via REMITA at any bank closest to you; Provide your Refer Teller to any NIMC Enrollment Center (ERC) near you and request a NIN receipt printout.

Alternatively, you can use the NIMC USSD service to retrieve it by following these steps:

How to get your NIN

Dial * 346 #; From the options displayed, select “NIN Retrieval”, by typing ‘1’, if you are using the same phone number that you registered with for your number.

Follow the steps shown on your screen and provide the required inputs

Note: Use of this service attracts N20 (deducted from your phone credit balance).

However, Glo users may encounter some difficulties, a message from the service provider around 10:53 am today indicated that their subscribers would not be able to retrieve NINs for now:

The message says: “The code to verify your NIN is * 346 in the registered mobile number. This service costs N20. However, you will not be able to get your NIN back on Glo for now. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

How to link your phone number to your NIN

Linking your phone number to your number is very easy.

For MTN users, just dial * 785 # and do it in seconds.

Airtel – Dial * 121 * 1 #

Glo: Text REG to 746

You can also visit the nearest office of your service provider (either M@TN, Glo, 9mobile and Airtel) to register/link your NIN.

Just go with NIN and your SIM package. If you don’t have your SIM package, you should probably be prepared to make an affidavit.

To be more sure, you can call your service provider’s customer service.

*(2)* “He(Justice Okon Abang) was struggling with the case and even wished that he should be recused out of the case. The influence from this narrative is indisputably to say the least that a trial judge was angered only in his mind that he was wrongly influenced and showed bias against the appellant(Olisa Metuh) in this case as this is what manifests from all the outburst, he(Justice Okon Abang) has infused in his judgment.

*(3) “Learned trial judge(Justice Okon Abang) showed in his comments, the influence of an abnormal desire all inclination to pursue a predetermined line of action against the appellant.*

*(4)* “This no doubt is an influence of bias against the appellant (Olisa Metuh). There is no way the learned trial judge( Justice Okon Abang) can be seen to be detached from the malice against the appellant(Olisa Metuh) in the case as alleged.

FG, banned stuff and how border was reopened

 

FG lists banned items even as borders are reopened

As President Buhari ordered that the country’s borders be opened, the FG noted that ban on the importation of poultry, rice, and other products remains in force.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and Planning, Zainab Ahmed, confirmed this.

Ahmed disclosed this while speaking to journalists after the Federal Executive Council’s meeting on Wednesday, presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

President Buhari joined the meeting virtually from his hometown, Daura, Kastina State.

“The ban on the importation of rice, poultry, and other banned products still subsists and will be implemented by the border patrol team,” Ahmed said.

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo, also stressed that the problem of smuggling would be tackled effectively after this ban.

“The issue of smuggling of rice to the country has reduced drastically. We are hoping that our agencies will be able to sustain that, so also is the issue of poultry smuggling.

“Also, very important is the issue of importation of small arms and weapons into the country that also has stopped,” Adebayo said.

President Buhari, in August 2019, ordered the closure of all borders in the country.
