How to Link Your NIN To 9mobile, MTN, Airtel and Glo Networks

 As mandated by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), all Nigerians are required to link their National Identification Number (NIN) with their sim cards, just like how we linked our BVN number to our bank accounts.

In this post, I will show you how to check and confirm if your sim is already linked to your NIN or not. In addition, I will show you how to link your NIN with all networks in Nigeria - MTN, Glo, 9mobile and Airtel.

If you are not too sure if you had earlier linked your NIN to your sim or not, then follow this step to confirm the NIN status on your sim.

1. All you have to do is dial *346# and reply with 1.
