The idea of a National Identity Number (NIN) was recently introduced by the Federal Government. It was introduced to tackle the issue of the lack of registration and documentation of Nigerians. So, the government made it compulsory that all phone numbers must be linked to NIN. Since then, people have been registering and linking their phone numbers.
One of the advantages of this Federal Government’s policy is that you can know the number of Nigerians in a particular location. You have access to data, figures, and stats, in case you want to do business or run a program.
This data and stats are important. If for one thing, it has been able to show the number of phone users or subscribers in each region and location. In this post, we are presenting the figures of South East, Nigeria. How many Nigerians have registered for NIN in South East, Nigeria, since its inception till the first quarter of 2022?
