A few days ago, the Federal Government announced the approval of s private sectors to boost the National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment exercise in Nigeria.
The main mobile network operators in Nigeria – MTN, Airtel, Globalcom, and 9mobile – are among the firms that were certified by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to handle the registration of Nigerians for NIN.

MTN, just like Airtel Nigeria, got NIN enrolment licence. This means that the telecom giant will be working within the time frame of the NCC.
Recall that three weeks extension was given to subscribers with NIN and six weeks for those without NIN.
It also disclosed that it has been granted NIN registration license to facilitate the enrollment, alongside other operators.
In a statement, the said:
“The directive means that while recharge activity and other services continue to be available, operators cannot add new subscribers”.
