NIN: Court Bars FG from Blocking SIM Cards

A Federal High Court in Lagos State has barred the Federal Government from blocking SIM cards not linked to National Identity Numbers next month.

However, a former second National Vice-President of the Nigerian Bar Association and human rights lawyer, Mr Monday Ubani, filed an originating motion and asked the court to stop the Nigerian Communications Commission from disconnecting all SIM Cards not linked to NINs. The court ruled that the ultimatum of April 9, 2021, be halted as the timeline is grossly inadequate and will not only cause severe hardship, but will likely infringe on the fundamental rights of Nigerians to freedom of expression as guaranteed by Section 39 and Section 44 of the 1999 Constitution.

Nice one.

Nonsense, blocking lines is their priority. I will not pay a dime to do NIN neither will I stress my self to do NIN. If it doesn't come on a platter of gold or stress free they should please block my lines. Nonsense.
