The decision to extend the deadline was made following a request by stakeholders to accommodate registration in hard-to-reach remote areas, foreigners and diplomatic missions, diaspora and address low enrolments in schools and hospitals, as evidenced by enrolment statistics.

A statement from the National Identity Management Commission , a copy of which was made available to LEADERSHIP on Sunday, said the decision followed a review of the progress of the exercise which indicated significant progress, hence the need to consolidate the gains of the enrolment and NIN-SIM verification process across the country.

As at July 24, 2021, NIMC said there were over 5,500 enrolment systems within and outside the country and this would significantly ease the NIN enrolment process and subsequent linkage of NIN to SIM. The presidency, it added, has approved the extension as part of efforts to make it easier for its citizens within and outside the country, and legal residents to obtain the NIN, advising the unregistered Nigerians to take advantage of the extension .

“The NIN-SIM linkage also makes it easier for the security agencies to carry out their statutory duties and the relevant parastatals under the ministry of Communications and Digital Economy are supporting them as required,” it stressed.Pointing out that there are now a total of 59.
