Telecommunication operators have begun preparations towards migrating to the Virtual NIN platform in a bid to resolve the technical difficulties that have grounded the NIMC portal.
This is coming about nine days after a protracted standoff with NIMC over the implementation of the vNIN platform.
NIMC’s portal suffered a technical glitch that has affected the ability of telcos, banks, immigration offices as well as other government agencies to verify the National Identity Number of its customers.
The NIMC spokesperson in a chat faulted telcos for refusing to migrate to the virtual NIN platform as directed by the commission.
