Blocked Over NIN-SIM Issues, Consumers Get Temporary Relief
This weekend saw countless Nigerian telecom subscribers cut off from their phone lines due to unresolved NIN-SIM verification issues.
In a swift response, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has mandated telecom operators to immediately reactivate all affected lines, offering temporary relief to frustrated consumers.
The NIN-SIM linkage initiative, which started in December 2020, aims to enhance national security and ensure an accurate SIM ownership database.
Despite multiple deadline extensions, the latest being July 31, 2024, many users still struggle to verify their NINs with their SIMs.
Recognizing the inconvenience, NCC’s directive allows subscribers extra time to complete their NIN-SIM linkage without losing access to essential communication services.
Subscribers are urged to verify their details promptly to avoid future disruptions.Stay connected, Nigeria—verify your NIN-SIM linkage today!
