Linking Of NIN To SIMs: MURIC Lauds Minister
The Muslims Rights Concern has commended Dr. Isa Pantami, Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, for his efforts towards linking the National Identity Number to SIM cards in the country to prevent crime.
Prof. Ishaq Akintola, Director, MURIC, gave the commendation in a statement in Abuja on Friday.
Akintola said the Minister has proven himself to be one of the uncommon Ministers in the federal cabinet.
He said: “The Ministry under Pantami is always on one activities or another and most of such projects are designed to take Nigeria to the next level in highly competitive digital world.
“Notable among such achievements of his ministry was the 112 toll-free numbers, commissioned on March 19, 2020 and the virtual Federal Executive Council meeting of May 13, 2020.
“A few weeks ago, the ministry introduced a mobile application designed to link the National Identity Number (NIN) to individual SIMs.
“This is a great step forward particularly in the fight against crime as it will assist security agencies in identifying criminals at a faster pace.
