The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, through the public affairs director, Ikechukwu Adinde, has warned Nigerians to be wary of websites that offer to unblock the barred subscriber identity module, SIM cards.
Recall that last week, the federal government directed telecommunication companies to bar outgoing calls on all unlinked lines, that is those lines not yet linked with National Identification Number, NIN.
The Commission said that the affected lines will not be unbarred until they are linked with the national identification numbers of the SIM holders. It told Nigerians to desist from seeking the easy way out as circulated on social media and some websites through the viral weblink www.bit.ly/NCC-Sim-Unbar-Gov-Ng. It said the originators of the spurious message were out to mischievously mislead unsuspecting members of the public and should be disregarded. The statement also said that the NCC will not work contrary to the Federal Government’s directives.
