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> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/23/why-some-subscribers-still-have-their-sim-barred-despite-linking-them-to-nin/">‘Why Some Subscribers Still Have Their SIM Cards Barred Despite Linking Them To NIN’</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
