An 11-digit number known as a National Identification Number (NIN) is issued to every citizen of Nigeria. Connecting your NIN to your Glo line is crucial if you want to keep using the service. Here’s how to link your NIN to your Glo line using an easy USSD code and some other options.
You must complete the NIN-SIM linkage process that NCC outlined in December 2020 or risk having your line disconnected. Many Nigerian internet users were outraged by this news because getting a NIN might be a hassle. Since its launch, the process of enrolling for and linking your NIN has become streamlined and quick. It is now possible to obtain a NIN and have it synced with your mobile device at any Enrolment Centre.
So, without further ado, let’s dive straight into the details of how to link your NIN on a Glo SIM card.
