The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has promised to keep the flag of enlightenment on the SIM card registration, flying , so that the full benefits of the exercise must be harnessed.
The Commission had on March 28, 2011, flagged off the six-month nationwide SIM registration exercise which is slated to end September 28, 2011.
Making the promise, Head, Media and Public Relations of the Commission, Mr. Reuben Muoka, said in Abuja, that the current campaign will include radio jingles in local languages giving subscribers the location of SIM Card registration centres in all the states of the federation even as key national dailies have been selected to publish the campaign ads.
He said SIM Card registration centres will continue in various states of the federation and that some of the registration agents will move around with mobile units to cover areas that may not have fixed registration centres in any particular locations such as markets and other similar locations.
In the NCC SIM registration centres, subscribers would be able to register all their SIM cards irrespective of their network of choice . The Commission however said that all subscribers who have already registered with their telecom service providers need ednot come for the registration carried out by the NCC agents as same will be collated for the same purpose at the Central data base for all subscribers in the country.
The general elections which ended last week, may have slowed the pace of the registration but now the elections are over, it is expected that subscribers would have ample opportunity to register their SIM cards with NCC appointed registration vendors nationwide.
