  • Summary

  • The country, in 2019, approved $433 million to bankroll a five-year project that would provide everyone with unique 11-digit identification numbers that would be registered to every SIM card. So far, about 102.39 million NINs have been registered.
    Security officials in the country’s tech capital of Lagos have announced the reactivation of tracking devices to apprehend kidnappers.
    The Lagos State Commissioner of Police says that it’s working with several other agencies to apprehend culprits in hot zones.
    The tech used to track SIM cards and match the national identity numbers registered to the cards has been deactivated since 2021.
    The sources also revealed that the payment for the tracking service at the NPF was suspended at the same time.
