Subscribers get reprieve as NCC order reactivation of lines

NCC Orders Reactivation of Blocked SIM Cards

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has ordered telecommunication companies to reactivate all SIM cards blocked due to unverified NINs. This decision comes as a relief to numerous subscribers who faced communication disruptions.

* Reason for blocking: The initial directive to block SIMs without verified NINs was part of the government’s efforts to enhance security and improve SIM registration.

* U-turn: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the NCC has reversed the decision to unblock all affected lines.

* Potential impact: This move is expected to restore communication services to millions of subscribers who were affected by the initial block.
