Nigeria NIN/SIM further update
London and Lagos, 07 April 2022: On 5 April 2002, Airtel Africa, a leading
provider of telecommunications and mobile money services, with a presence in
14 countries across Africa, provided an update on the NIN/SIM registrations
process in Nigeria. Today, Airtel Africa provides a further update.
With effect from 4 April 2022, all SIMs that have not been linked to a NIN
will have only their outgoing voice calls barred with immediate effect.
Outgoing voice revenues for those active subscribers who have not yet linked
their NIN with their SIM amount to around 8% of total revenues from Nigeria,
and around 3% of total revenues for the Group.
We continue to work closely with the regulator and will make every effort to
minimise disruption and ensure affected customers can continue to benefit from
full service connectivity as soon as possible; in line with our aim to drive
increased connectivity and digital inclusion across Nigeria.
