The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has directed mobile network operators (MNOs) in Nigeria to begin the implementation of authorized harmonized short codes (HSC) for providing targeted services to telecom consumers throughout the nation.
Reuben Muoka, the Director of Public Affairs at the NCC, announced in a statement on Monday that the unified short codes were endorsed to align with the regulator’s consumer-centric strategy for telecommunications regulation.
He stated that the utilization of harmonized short codes was intended to ensure consistency in common short codes used across all networks.
