January 19, 2021 was the initial deadline, but it was moved to February 9, April 6, May 6, June 30, July 26 and now October 31.


Section 19 of the draft document, NCC said mobile communications services providers must ensure that NINs are verified and validated before activation.


It said a penalty of N200,000 awaits those who breach the requirement.
