NCC Debunks Mass Disconnection Of Subscribers

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has dismissed fears of mass disconnection of telephone subscribers over National Identity Numbers (NIN) registration are unfounded.

NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde, said the body made this clear because subscribers had become jittery that their lines might be disconnected over NIN registration.

He advised the public to ignore speculations of mass disconnection being circulated in some sections of the media.

He further explained that the current linkage of SIM registration records with the NIN was aimed at enhancing general safety and helping the government to plan for national development.

Adinde said the commission had to “issue this clarification in order to allay the fears of subscribers and the general public”.

He said most of the publications “are based on the erroneous assumption that for every network or SIM connection, there is one unique human subscriber”.
