The Directive by the National Communication Authority (NCA) telecom operators to remove all disconnected SIMs from SIM registration databases will take effect today, Monday, April 17, 2023.
The directive complies with the March 31, 2023 directive issued by the NCA.
The NCA in a statement said the directive will include SIMs that remain blocked in compliance with the Communication Minister’s directive on 30th November 2022.
The NCA’s directive also provides clarity on earlier directives dated 6th April 2023, 11th April 2023, and 20th March 2023.
The NCA has further instructed the operators to provide in writing to the NCA by Tuesday, 18th April 2023, the total number of SIMs disconnected in compliance with the directive.
It said “all SIMs registered after the limit of ten (10) must be removed from SIM registration databases and deactivated, with the same reflected in the Central SIM Register by Monday, 17th April 2023.”
“We count on your usual cooperation,” the NCA added.
The NCA has warned non-compliance with these directives would be in violation of Regulations 1 of the Subscriber Identity Module Registration Regulations, 2011.
