The Federal Government of Nigeria, has said that seven SIM cards can be linked to one National Identity Number.
Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami who made this known in a statement on Friday, said it can be done on the Mobile App of the National Identity Management Commission.
“We developed an app, when you go online, you will see it. That app, as long as you have your NIMC number, you will only download it without visiting any office. You will be able to link up to seven SIM numbers to only one,” he said.
“I have already downloaded the app, launched the app, and already linked some of my numbers immediately. This is part of digitalisation,” the minister added.
He also said that NIMC, are working on transforming the onward linkage of SIM cards and the NIN enrolment process as required by the Nigerian Communication Commission.
