Sim Cards Registration Begins In July 2009 by kosovo(m): 7:49am On Apr 27, 2009 |
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) will from July 2009 commence the registration of all SIM cards, the operational software running GSM mobile phones, in the country. GSM mobile phone users who fail to register their cards at the end of the registration exercise in December 2009 will be disconnected in the first quarter of 2010. The executive vice chairman of the commission, Engineer Ernest Ndukwe disclosed this as part of the commission's plans to give credibility in the identification process for mobile phone usage in the country. Engr. Ndukwe spoke at a one day retreat of the Senate Committee on Communications in Kaduna just as the Committee chairman, Senator Sylvester Anyanwu tasked the commission to protect the citizenry from the exploitative tendencies of GSM operators. According to Ndukwe, “In the next three months, people will be required to provide some form of identification before they get SIM cards.” But at the end of the year, we are giving enough time so those who are current users can go and register with a good identity instrument that is bankable - that we can put in a data base.” "Once that is done, I think January or February; we'll give a date which will be a cut-off date. If you have not registered your SIM card by then, you'll be automatically cut off from the network." Link |

Dem go register tire. It will never work out. You can't register everyone, and not everyone wants to be registered. |
