According to a new estimate, 51.3 million unique telecommunication devices may lack National Identification Numbers (NIN).Nigeria had roughly 132 million unique devices connected to telecommunication networks in 2020, according to a paper from the Nigeria Communications Commission titled "Deployment of a Device Management System: Project Information Memorandum."
It said, “With more than 200 million active lines on the Nigerian telecommunication network (as of December 2021), there is great potential for the development of a DMS in the Nigerian market.
“It is estimated that there were approximately 132 million unique devices on the telecommunication network in 2020.”
The Nigeria Identity Management Commission enrolment dashboard for April 2022, showed 80.7 million people had NINs as of April 23, 2022. This leaves 51.3 million device owners without NINs.
