How to Link your NIN to MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile Network

The Federal Government through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has directed that all SIM cards must be linked to a National Identification Number (NIN) just as we have linked our BVN number to our bank accounts.

I will show you in this post how to verify and validate whether or not your sim is already connected to your NIN. Furthermore, I’m going to show you how to connect your NIN to all Nigerian networks – MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile.

How to Confirm your NIN Status on All Networks

If you are not too sure if you have already connected your NIN to your sim or not, then follow this move to confirm the NIN status of your sim.

• All you need to do is dial *346# and reply to the prompt with 1.
• If your NIN is already connected to your sim, you will be shown your NIN number, otherwise, you will be asked to register for your NIN by visiting any NIMC office nearest to you.

If you’re lucky enough to have your National Identification Number but yet to link it to your sim(s), then here’s an easy guide for you to follow.
