The Nigerian Communications Commission(NCC) has ordered telecommunication companies to bar calls from phone numbers that are yet to be linked to their National Identity Numbers (NIN) from Friday, 29 March.
Subscribers whose SIM cards have not been linked to their NINs will not be allowed to make calls until the linkage is done.
Reuben Muoka, the director of public affairs of the commission disclosed this to PREMIUM TIMES during a telephone interview Friday evening.
Mr Muoka said the directive for disconnection is being rolled out in stages, with the second phase set for 29 March as earlier announced.
