He noted that operators had commenced preparatory arrangements in the regard of procurement, licensing and deployment.

Adebayo added that regardless of the difference in time, the entire industry were all committed to the exercise.
Nigerians have been crowding NIMC registration centres in the bid to beat the Federal Government’s February 9 deadline for integration of subscribers’ numbers with their NINs.
This prompted NIMC to license the telcos and other entities to provide identity numbers to those that have not been able to secure their own from the limited registration centres.
