NCC changes fixed lines numbering format

This, the commission said, is in keeping with its responsibilities under the enabling law, the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003, to manage Nigeria’s numbering resources.

According to a statement from Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs at NCC, in the process, Nigeria’s Fixed-Lines Numbering Format has changed from eight digits to 10 digits by just adding “02” prefix before existing fixed number.
