As Nigerians still flood the NIN Centres to avoid their precious sims been cut off from networks, many are concerned and agitating that the JAN 19 & FEB 9 deadline of federal government is unrealistic.
However, the Director Of Public Affairs at the NCC, Mr. Ikechukwu Adinde, says there's no signal of an extension from the federal government.
“Right now, apart from the recent information that we made concerning the extension, no further update yet," Adinde tells Punch.
“The information on this matter was the one that talked about when we moved the extension to January 19 for those who have NINs and February 9 for those who do not have.”
Probed further on whether there have been discussions at the highest levels to either extend or suspend the project, Adinde replied, “No, no, no; if you follow the opinion of the public, it is in favour of extending it.
“And then, of course, recently there have been concerns on the effect of COVID-19 and all that. But I am sure government is listening and once we are advised, we will go to the press and announce the new position.
“However, as it is now, we are waiting to see what happens at the end of the day, as the recent deadline extension still stands.”
