Telecommunication Companies In Nigeria Have Commenced The Final Phase Of Disconnecting Subscriber Identity Module Numbers (Telephone Lines) Not Linked To National Identification Numbers.
Two Senior Officials From The Telcos Who Were Not In A Position To Speak Publicly On The Matter Confirmed This Development To Naijanewsbox Correspondent.
Recall That The Disconnection Was Initially Scheduled For April 15, 2024, But The Nigeria Communications Commission Postponed It To July 31, 2024, After Carefully Considering The Various Challenges Encountered By Subscribers And Requests For Extensions.
The Other Source Said The Directive Was From The NCC, The Industry Regulator, Emphasising That Numerous Channels Have Been Provided To Simplify The Process For Subscribers.
Numerous Users Have Reported That Their SIM Cards Were Barred Despite Completing The Linking Exercise, And They Have Provided Evidence Of Their Compliance.
However, The President Of The National Association Of Telecommunications Subscribers, Adeolu Ogunbanjo, Was Not Available For Comments After Several Calls.
