Nigerians have reacted with outrage after the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) said in a new report that it will collect the identification numbers of their phones.
The IMEI number allows phones to be tracked and monitored, and allows access to sensitive data of users.
The NCC said President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the compilation of IMEIs for all registered mobile phones before the end of July.
The disclosure was made in the NCC’s Revised National Policy for Sim Card Registration, released this week.
The policy said the “implementation of a Centralized Equipment Identity and Register (CEIR), otherwise known as Device Management System (DMS) will serve as a repository for keeping records of all registered mobile phones’ International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and owners of such devices.”
