Communications Commission (NCC) stipulate a deadline to the registration of all sim cards used on Nigerian networks for September but postponed it due to complains of registration difficulties. NCC has disclosed the new deadline for sim card registration to now be the 31st of December.

The commission has begun collation and harmonization of existing registered SIM cards from across the country. This means that by the first day of January 2012, all sim cards that are not registered would cease to work automatically.

The Head of Media and Publicity, Mr Reuben Muoka, pleaded to Nigerians that there would not be any prior notification before disconnection by the first day of January 2012 hence, it is advised that unregistered sim cards should comply with the requirement exercise or forfeit the services.
