The minister of communications and digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, on Monday, says there is no going back on the National Identification Numbers (NIN), warning Nigerians to comply before the government’s next action.

BIGPENNGR reports that Pantami spoke amidst unverified controversial ‘terror watchlist report’ which has since been debunked.

Pantami gave the warning on Monday, April 12, via his official Twitter handle when reacting to a retraction on a trending report published about him by a media outlet.

He warned that there will be consequences for Nigerians who fail to verify their SIMs by linking them to the National Identification Numbers (NIN).

The Minister stated that the issue of NIN-SIM verification was essential to fight insecurity.

He said: ”On the issue of NIN-SIM Verification to fight insecurity, there is no going back. Our priority as GOVERNMENT based on the provision of our constitution 1999 (as amended) Section 14(2)b is SECURITY, not just economy.
