How to link your National Identification Number (NIN) with your MTN SIM

As telecommunication companies in Nigeria are being mandated by NCC to block all Sim cards without NIN, here is how you can link your NIN with your MTN line from the comfort of your home.

Before proceeding to link your NIN with your mobile number, you have to first check if the NIN is already linked or not. If already linked, no action is required to be taken by you. If not, you will have to dial a USSD code to retrieve your NIN and then follow the procedure below to link it to your number.
