The Nigerian government have made NIN linkage compulsory if you want to own a SIM in the country. However, due to the rigorous processes required to get a NIN, telecommunication companies such as 9mobile had to do something about making the process faster and more efficient. In this article on Naijaknowhow, we have compiled the various ways to link your NIN to your 9mobile line easily.
For those who are confused about NIN, well… NIN stands for National Identification Number, this is a unique 11-digit number assigned to every Nigerian, as long as you’re a Nigerian, you should own a NIN.
