Adinde, in a statement in Abuja, said the new rule applies to new SIM cards, stressing that those not linked with NIN will be disconnected in two weeks time.
The federal government has since announced approved 173 centres and 30 state government institutions to conduct enrolment for Nigerians staying in the country.
NIDCOM has also released diaspora enrolment and registration centres for Nigerians abroad.

Criticism trails NCC’s directives to block SIM cards
Meanwhile, backlashes have begun to trail the new rule by the NCC mandating telecommunication operators to block SIM cards that are not linked with the National Identity Numbers (NIN) by January 2026.
This is as Nigerians on social media condemned the development and described it as a misstep just to frustrate the angry population.
