NIN: “Our website didn’t crash, we are upgrading it” – says NIMC
The National Identity Management Commission says it is currently upgrading its website for optimum performance.
This is just as many Nigerians jostle to obtain their national identity numbers.
It also said the NIMC site did not crash.
Last week, the federal government ordered telecommunications companies to deactivate telephone lines of subscribers who fail to link their phones to their NIN within two weeks.
But on Monday, the federal government extended the deadline till January the 19th, for those already with NIN 9 February 2021 for those yet to have NIN.
On that same Monday, many Nigerians trooped to NIMC offices nationwide for their NIN registration.
