The Federal Government has lifted the suspension placed on the replacement of Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards, after agitations by Nigerians.
The lifting however did not affect the suspension placed on the sales and activation of new SIM cards.
The decision to lift the suspension order was reportedly taken at a stakeholders’ meeting convened by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Issa Pantami on Wednesday night.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government had banned the sales and reactivation of SIM cards with a directive that subscribers should link their National Identification Number (NIN) with their SIM cards.
