Since the commencement of total SIM card disconnection on February 28, a total of 42 million Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards belonging to telecoms subscribers have been barred from receiving and making calls, according to reports.
Chairman, Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria and spokesperson of telecoms operators, Gbenga Adebayo, who revealed the number of disconnected SIM cards since February 28, said those affected were mainly connected to devices such as MiFi and tablets, which the subscribers did not link to their National Identification Number (NIN).
