Association protests poor publicity on SIM cards registration
The National
Association of Telecommunications Subscribers, says it will protest
against Nigerian Communications Commission’s poor publicity on SIM
cards registration.
Deolu Ogunbanjo,
the group’s president, said on Tuesday that a rally to that effect
would take place in Abuja after the World Cup. He said the rally, aimed
at challenging the commission to give adequate sensitisation to
subscribers, would be taken to the Presidency, National Assembly, and
the NCC office.
According to him,
the pace with which the registration is going on, telecoms operators
will not register up to 10 million subscribers out of the over 78
million at the end of the six months deadline.
“This is grossly inadequate, indeed, the timing of the publication
on December 31 completely diminished its effectiveness as the target
audience were well away on vacation amidst sumptuous festivity,” he
said.
