NCC suspends SIM sale, registration
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has ordered telecommunications companies to halt the sale and activation of Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) following an audit of the Subscriber Registration Database.
In a statement by the Director, Public Affairs, Ikechukwu Adinde on Wednesday, he said the directive will be in effect until the audit is completed adding that the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, instructed the NCC to conduct the exercise.
He said there might be an exemption if the federal government approves. NCC warned that non-compliance by network operators could lead to withdrawal of operating license. The inspection is to ensure that the firms comply with quality standards and requirements.
What is this for
I hope it is not a decision that is politically motivated
It’s fine as long as it is for the good of all Nigerians.
Whatever you want to do should be done without wasting much time on it.
Àt least, if this suspension of registration of SIM is for the security purposes, is a welcome development.
No problem, we will be waiting for the outcome of the exercise when it’s completed.
Nothing bad in it as soon as exercise will be fruitful one without compromise.
Hmmmmm….. All this useless exercises means nothing to improve the communication sectors …….
It’s a good one I just pray they be monitored properly
