“NIN-SIM Linkage Will Help Us Identify Crooks” – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said the National Identification Number (NIN) and Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) integration exercise will help Nigeria identify crooks.
He further stated that the exercise will provide a digital framework for improving security and strengthening the economy.
Buhari stated this while inaugurating the National Policy for the Promotion of Indigenous Content in Nigerian Telecoms Sector and Revised National Identity Policy for SIM Cards registration at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President said proper identification of all Nigerians and legal residents in the country and the ability to conveniently access a database would provide an impetus for more effective planning and security oversight.
