NCC mulls plan to eliminate multiple SIM cards usage among Nigerians

Dr. Aminu Maida, Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has disclosed that the commission is looking at ways in which telecommunications consumers in the country will only need one SIM card and one device, against the need to own multiple SIM devices.

Maida who disclosed this at a media parley in Lagos over the weekend, said the commission would be using data to leverage its plans for a situation where consumers will only have one SIM card and one device.

Due to the quality of service from telecom operators in the country, many Nigerians have adopted multiple SIMs and multiple devices in order to stay connected, by switching from one SIM/device to another.
