Nigeria’s Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has denied saying that Nigerians without National Identification Number (NIN) risk 14 years imprisonment.

He tweeted: “This has been quoted out of context. Pantami has not mentioned “14 years imprisonment.” But said NIMC has been 14 years in existence, since 2007. ”
Since the session has been recorded by journalists. It is better to release the video for public to listen to it, please. Best wishes!
