Full List of NIN Diaspora Enrollment Registration Centres: The federal government on Tuesday, December 22, announced the approved enrolment centres where Nigerians in Diaspora can register for the National Identification Number (NIN).
This was contained in a series of tweets by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) following the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC)’s directives mandating the telecommunication operators to block SIM cards not linked to NIN.

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 2024.
This is as Nigerians on social media condemned the development and described it as a misstep just to frustrate the angry population.
