NewsOnline Nigeria had earlier reported that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has set a new deadline of September 14, 2024, for the mandatory linkage of the Subscriber Identification Modules (SIMs) to the National Identity Numbers (NINs).
Here is a guide that presents step-by-step instructions and methods through which subscribers can easily integrate their NIN with their MTN, Airtel, Glo, or 9mobile lines, facilitating regulatory compliance and ensuring uninterrupted telecommunication services. Let’s get into it.
You can link your NIN to your MTN line in two ways- through the MTN NIN portal or using a USSD code.
Using the Linking Portal to Link NIN to an MTN line
Step 1: Visit the MTN NIN linking portal
Step 2: Fill in the necessary information, including your VNIN, phone number and email address, and select Next.

Step 3: Verify the information you have entered and click Enter. You will receive an OTP via text message to the number you inputted. Enter the OTP and validate.

Using USSD Code to Link NIN to an MTN line
Dial *996# and select 1. Submit Virtual NIN. Follow the prompts and complete the linking process.
Note that you can only link 7 phone numbers to one NIN. So if you’re attempting to register a line and it’s repeatedly unsuccessful, one of the reasons could be that you have exceeded the number of lines allowed per NIN.
