MTN Nigeria offices have resumed operations across the country after a nationwide shutdown on Tuesday 'over vandalism'.
A staff at the telecommunication company told TheCable on Wednesday.On July 27, some Nigerians reported being blocked from making or receiving calls after their telephone lines were barred due to failure to link their national identification numbers with the subscriber identity module cards.The offices of other telecommunication firms in some parts of the country — Oyo, FCT, and Kano — were also besieged by subscribers over the development.
The NIN-SIM linkage policy began in December 2020 when the federal government directed telecommunication companies to bar unregistered SIM cards and SIMs not linked to NIN. Since December 2023, the NCC has reviewed the deadline a few times, but April 15 was set as the deadline for the full network barring of subscribers with four or fewer SIMs that had unverified NIN details.BREAKING: Opposition reps walk out of plenary over bill to raise ways and means to 10%
