The Nigerian Communications
Commission(NCC) last week in
Abuja officially kicked off the
registration of mobile phone
users in Nigeria,stating that the
ongoing efforts by the operators
have got only 12 million out of
89 million mobile phone users in
the country registered. It said the
flag off exercise performed by
the Executive Vice Chairman of
the commission,Dr Eugene
Juwah,was symbolic of its
readiness to commence the
registration of all existing SIM
cards in the country over a
period of six months. He said
that after six months,no
unregistered SIM card would be
used in Nigeria.
The Commission said that the
uniqueness of the NCC-
implemented SIM registration
was that all the lines owned by
the subscribers can be registered
at the same spot against the
current practice whereby
subscribers go from one
operator to another to register
their SIMs. The accredited
registration companies are also
expected to deploy staff across
the nooks and crannies of the
country during the period.
Registration centres may not be
available on all the designated
spots across the country from
the flag off date but are expected
to grow in the course of the
registration exercise.
NCC said at the registration
centres,subscribers would be
required to provide any one of
the following items of
Identification: National Identity
Card, International Passport,
Drivers license. Or authentication
letter with passport photographs
riggode by traditional ruler/
community leader,in the case of
rural areas. Biometric
information of subscribers like
finger prints and digital
photographs are to be taken and
registration is free.
