Linking your National Identification Number (NIN) to your GLO line has become a crucial step in Nigeria’s telecommunication companies.
With over 195 million mobile subscribers in Nigeria, GLO stands as a major player, serving around 60.3 million users.Â
As Nigeria’s second-largest network, after MTN, GLO requires its users to link their NIN to their phone numbers to ensure uninterrupted service.
Importance Of NIN
NIN, an 11-digit code issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), is essential for all Nigerians to have. It serves as a unique identifier, ensuring compliance with government regulations.Â
The linkage of NIN to your GLO line is mandatory, as it validates your identity and ensures regulatory compliance. Without this linkage, your GLO line will be inactive.
