BREAKING: NCC Orders Immediate Reactivation Of ALL Blocked SIMS
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has ordered the immediate reconnection of all blocked phone lines that were barred as a result of the NIN-SIM verification exercise.
The NCC gave the directive in a statement on Monday.
Recall some network providers blocked some mobile lines ahead of the July 31 deadline for the NIN-SIM linkage set by the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC).
The NCC had earlier in the year directed telecom operators to bar all subscribers whose lines are not linked to their NINs.
Before the July 31 deadline, there had been several deadlines for the blocking of SIM cards not linked to NINs.
The development, which left many Nigerians unable to use their mobile phone services, prompted aggrieved customers to storm MTN offices in Lagos, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Ibadan, Oshogbo, Sango Otta in Ogun State, and other parts of the country.
