‘We have deployed devices aligned with NIMC standards across several Gloworld outlets and are making immediate arrangements for our other centres across the country to commence. Our objective is to create more opportunities for Nigerians who are yet to enrol for their NIN to do so more conveniently.’ GlobacomFor Globacom subscribers who have their NIN but have not linked it with their mobile numbers yet, they can do so by sending NIN to 109, or by dialling *109# to submit their National Identity Number.

It will be recalled that the Nigerian government has set February 9, 2021, as the deadline for linking NIN with mobile numbers or risk having phone lines blocked. The gesture from Glo is timely as it will help reduce the long queues at NIMC centres which have put the health of Nigerians at risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Source: Nairametrics
