<h2>The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has disclosed why some subscribers have their SIM cards barred despite linking them to their National Identification Number (NIN).</h2>
<p>According to the commission, such subscribers are victims of duplicated <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/nin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Identification Numbers</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/ncc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NCC</a></strong> gave the explanation at a media briefing in Lagos, where it addressed complaints from some subscribers who have had their SIMs barred despite linking them to their NINs.</p>
<p>The Commission said some third-party agents are duplicating NINs for unsuspecting telecom subscribers but when an audit is carried out, the system reveals the actual owners of the NINs.</p>
<p>The NCC Director of Compliance, <strong>Efosa Idehen</strong>, who addressed the press briefing, said, <em>“On the issue of already registered SIMs and NIN, the issue is that some of those SIMs were registered with duplicated NINs.</em></p>
<p><em>“When an audit of the system is carried out, actual owners of the NINs reclaim them. We have a lot of things that people do within the industry, especially SIM-NIN linkage for money purposes. Yes, people register their SIMs and try to link their NINs but the agents doing those registrations do a lot of damage.</em></p>
<p><em>“We are seeing this and want to correct it. We want a situation where when people say they are the owners of their SIMs, there is no doubt.”</em></p>
