The Federal Government has directed telecommunication companies in the country to bar all outgoing calls on unlinked lines from Monday, April 4, 2022.
Over 125 million SIMs, according to the statement, have had their NINs submitted for linkage, verification, and authentication and NIMC has issued over 78 million unique NINs to date.The government explained that NIN-SIM linkage had been extended on multiple occasions to allow Nigerians to freely comply with the policy.
Data from the commission indicates that there are 197.8 million active telecom subscribers in Nigeria as of February 2022.NIN-SIM Linkage: Federal Government Commends Compliance and Directs Telcos to Bar Outgoing Calls on Unlinked Lines from 4th April 2022 It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, gave the directive for the implementation and commencement of the exercise in December 2020, as part of the administration’s security and social policies.
The implementation impacts on government’s strategic planning, particularly in the areas of security and socio-economic projections. Affected individuals are hereby advised to register for their NINs at designated centres and thereafter link the NINs to their SIMs through the channels provided by NIMC and the telcos, including the NIMC mobile app.

Risks in millions as people failed to register for NIN and link it to their mobile phone numbers
Link walkie-talkie to NIN too in case the terrorists change to it.
Ok now they want the telecommunications company to start shutting down their office soon as their revenue will drop below 50%. Is not possible to all Nigerians to register their Nin even in 10 years to come
Nigerians DONT obey laws. They wait until the last minute or when there is a consequence. For a start, Nigeria needs to shut down all unregistered Sim cards. Go and prove your identity. Terrorist making calls freely everywhere.
Na wetin we tell them make them do b that? D ones way don link their sim, how e don benefit them so far? FuG ko FG(fucked up government) ni
The only thing the Nigerian government knows how to do is unnecessary bans.
Ifb
What should have been done since December 2020. I wonder what their excuses could be for not linking up.
Unserious people! 'Track the location of terrorists requesting for ransom' Una no fit do that one, na innocent citizen una go dey disturb up and down. Bar outgoing calls na. We no go waste money for recharges again. Thank God for Facebook, Whatsapp etc.. Mtcheew
Rubish...
Is overdue.
The linked Sim Cards how far? The bandits you brought in are still making calls freely , calling for ransoms . Banana Republic, failed country
I no too like calls like that.
Good news.. let's see if they will bar bandits line
Can they start with tracking bandits who use phone numbers registered on the network to reach out to their victim families for Ransom
What about Bandits who have linked theirs? Have they been able to trace them? Afterall they've been asking for ransoms from families of those who they Kidnapped in Kaduna. Yeye NIMC/ NIN/ Sim Registration
🤣🤣😃🤣🤣🤣🤣 NA Unlinked sims be una problem. Wen bandits and kidnappers are freely calling the families of the victims demanding for ransom payment una no fit trace them. Yeye dey smell. Abeg make una no attack me o! I come in peace book.
Apart of ban, what else can the federal govt do🤣😅
Even ban WhatsApp calls, how?
Terrorists channelstv
Nice 👍 step , let’s know where we are
Which risk again, with all the time given..atleast let see if the NIN will do.
Face the issues on ground and leave NIN. thieves!
A good step. Enough time was given for everyone to link their SIMs
