Though the quartet of MTN, Globacom, Airtel and 9mobile have respectively sent out links that can assist affected subscribers to get their SIMs linked, there is yet no respite for their subscribers. He said until NIMC confirms and returns the NINs, that is when confirmation is guaranteed and linkage done. “I will appeal to affected subscribers to exercise some patience. Operators usually wait for NIMC to confirm and verify collected NINs after they have sent those received to the NIMC backend. The Commission must first confirm before the affected lines can be unbarred,” he stated.
