The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has issued a directive to telecommunications operators to promptly reactivate all phone lines that were blocked due to the failure to link National Identification Numbers (NIN) with SIM cards.
This significant development was announced on Monday by the NCC’s Director of Media and Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka. The directive comes as a relief to millions of Nigerians who have been unable to access essential communication services due to the stringent linkage requirement.
The NCC’s decision aims to alleviate the challenges faced by subscribers, ensuring seamless connectivity and access to telecommunications services across the country. This move is expected to restore communication for many individuals and businesses, fostering greater inclusivity and connectivity.
Further details on the implementation of this directive and its implications are anticipated to be released soon.
