NCC Orders Prompt Reactivation Of Blocked Phone Lines Affected By NIN-SIM Verification Issue

NCC stated this in a statement after numerous telecom subscribers in Nigeria were unable to access their phone lines over the weekend due to unverified National Identification Numbers (NINs) linked to their Subscriber Identification Modules (SIMs).

 This issue, which resulted in the blocking of many phone lines by telecom service providers, stems from ongoing compliance with the government’s NIN-SIM linkage policy.
