** NCC immediately ordered the disconnected line to re-activate the disconnecting line in the NIN-SIM verification challenge. **
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) instructs telecommunications service providers to re -activate all the non -verified national identification numbers (NIN) linking the weekend on the weekend to disconnect all the telephone lines connected on the weekend.
After many subscribers have encountered difficulties in visiting the telephone line, this development is caused by some consumers that cannot be verified by simulation life to verify their NINS. NCC complies with government policies and requires Nin to establish contact with SIMS to enhance national security and ensure accurate national simulation database.
The NIN-SIM link policy was launched in December 2020 to verify and protect the identity of users, and at the same time provides a key infrastructure for the steady digital economy. Despite the extension of many deadlines, including the recent deadlines from April 15th, 2024 to July 31, 2024, the verified NIN has not linked many telephone lines.
In order to reduce the inconvenience caused by disconnection, NCC indicates that operators re -activate all affected lines in a limited period, so that consumers can complete the verification process and link them to simulation life.
It is recommended that the public complete the verification process as soon as possible to maintain access to the phone line. NCC has reiterated its commitment to protect consumer interests and ensure that the national SIM database is accurate and reliable.
** Note: ** The re -activated line is only temporary. If the link of the verified Nin is incorrect, the connection will be disconnected again.
