Registration of new SIM cards had been suspended in Nigeria for about four months. Now there’s been a change of mind by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
It’s been only a couple of weeks since the government announced a new 6 May deadline for end users to link their National Identification Numbers (NINs) to their SIM cards. The suspension of SIM registrations began in December 2020, at the same time as the directive regarding NINs and SIMs.
