The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has revealed why some telecommunications subscribers who previously linked their SIM cards to their National Identification Numbers (NINs) were barred from the network.
Telecommunications companies had over the weekend disconnected over 40 million subscribers who did not present their NINs in line with Nigeria’s Subscribers Identification Module and NIN linkage policy.
The Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Gbenga Adebayo, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
