Nigerians have started reacting seriously after NCC gave an order to Telecommunication operators (MTN, Airtel, Glo and Etisalat) to block SIM cards not registered with National ID – NIN (National Identity Numbers).


The information was revealed by President Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad on his Twitter page last night. It reads:

“The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has given telecommunications operators (MTN, Airtel, 9 Mobile and Glo) in country two weeks to block all SIM cards that are not registered with National Identity Numbers (NIN), the Commission has said in a statement.”

Taking to their various Twitter pages, Nigerians began to tackle NCC heavily for its new order to telecommunication operators to block SIMS not registered with National ID.
