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.
