Why link NIN to 9mobile?
If you are a citizen or resident in Nigeria, then you should be aware of how important it is to link your National Identification Number (NIN) to your 9mobile line or any other network operator you use
This is because, in 2015, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) announced that all transactions involving the identification of individuals must be done with NIN - a unique 11-digit number assigned to every citizen or resident of Nigeria that serves as an identification for life.
Everyone was advised to enrol for their unique NIN and in addition to this, NIMC later announced that all network operators in Nigeria are now required to tell ALL their subscribers to provide valid NIN to update SIM registration records. This means to even own a working SIM card in Nigeria, you need to have your NIN.
