Don't take extension of SIM-NIN linkage deadline for granted

By Emmanuel Elebeke
In line with its culture of enlightening the public, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has warned telecommunications subscribers not to delay further in linking their Sim cards and national identity number, NIN.
It said further delay in taking the advantage of the recent extension of the earlier deadline   could caught some of them napping  as the federal government may no longer extend the existing deadline.
It also warned subscribers not to stop purchase or use pre-registered Subscriber Identity Module(SIM) cards, which  according to him remains illegal and criminal act.
The Director Consumer Affairs Bureau, NCC, Efosa Idehen sounded these  warning in at a maiden edition of Telecom Consumer conversation entitled: Getting Consumer to Know Their Rights, held at Garki International Market, Abuja,.
