The Nigerian Communications Commission has called on yet to register their Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) to do so before the 30 June deadline set by the commission.<\/p>\n

The Director of Public Affairs, NCC, Mr. Tony Ojobo, who tweeted the breaking news on his twitter handle friday, said the decision to end the registration exercise was taken after a meeting between the Commission and the service providers.<\/p>\n

According to him, the SIM card registration exercise, which began since March 28, 2011 would come to an end on the 30th June, 2013, and all SIM cards that were not registered will be barred.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s now a window opportunity for those who have not registered their SIM cards to do so, otherwise from the 30th June, they will be barred and can\u2019t use the number anymore to make calls,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ojobo further said that the total number of registered SIMs will be made known after the June 30th cut-off date.<\/p>\n

NCC initially set the SIM registration deadline to 28 September 2012 but extended the date to enable more subscribers as well as the organization sufficient time for proper coverage.<\/p>\n
