The Nigeria Communication Commission backed by the Federal Government of Nigeria passed a law that says all phone numbers must be linked to a National Identity Number (NIN).
The National Identification Number is a 10 digits number assigned to every individual that has duly completed his or her enrolment process into the National Identity Database (NIDB).
Like every other telecommunications company in Nigeria, GLO has made it possible for its customers to link their NIN to their phone numbers with ease.
