The Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has debunked reports linking the ongoing subscriber lines’ barring exercise by Telecommunication companies with the planned national protest
ALTON made this known in a statement released on Sunday.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to some online reports linking the ongoing subscriber line barring exercise, with the planned national protest.
“There’s absolutely no connection between the two. The NIN/SIM link registration deadline has earlier been set for 31st July, 2024.
“The fact of the matter is that the harmonization exercise of the SIM Registration database and National Identity Database has been ongoing for several months.
“This is aimed at improving the integrity of the National SIM registration database. Customers who had their lines blocked recently are those whom their service providers found a mismatch between their records on both databases. We advise such customers to contact their service providers through communicated channels for resolution of the issue.
“However, all operators have put in place measures to ensure that anyone whose line is blocked can unblock it by following some easy steps.
