Several subscribers affected by the Federal Government’s directive to ban their Subscriber Identification Module cards for failure to link them with the National Identification Number have cried out that despite making efforts to link the lines, they are still shut out from the networks.

Visits by The Guardian in the last two days to some of these centres confirmed these developments as subscribers recount their ordeal, including extortion, which saw them coughing out as much as N5000 at some NIMC centres. Adebayo explained that operators collect NINs and subsequently send them across to the NIMC for verification. He said it is not until NIMC confirmed and returned the NINs that confirmation is guaranteed and linkage is done.

MEANWHILE, The Nigeria Data Protection Bureau has kick-started efforts in the full implementation of the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy of the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari under the supervisory Ministry of Communications and Digital Technology by collaborating with the NIMC in upscaling the privacy of citizen’s data to earn their trust.

“There is nothing you would want to do in the digital economy without proper identity and you can’t achieve that without adequate privacy and protection of data”, he noted. While giving accolades to the Commission for the job done so far in ensuring all Nigerians have an identity, Olatunji however stated that best data protection practices must be adopted in the handling of citizenry data to meet global standards.
