Simi rages over NCC directive on SIM cards

Simi

Singer Simi has expressed anger over Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) directive on disconnecting every SIM card not synchronised with valid National Identification Number (NIN).

The 32-year-old in a tweet said she does not want to be a part of the process on Wednesday.

“lol i want out,” she wrote.

In another tweet Simi said, “Honestly if they want to block it, they should block it. Cos I’m tired and maybe the 15 ppl that are able to register in 2 weeks can be calling theirself.”

Simi in a now deleted tweet said the government keeps giving us nonsense and we keep taking it.

“They continue giving us nonsense, because we continue collecting it,” she wrote.

On Monday the key stakeholders in the communications industry convened by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Isa Ibrahim had a meeting.

The meeting in its resolution insisted that all telecom operators must from Thursday, December 16, 2020 require all their subscribers to provide valid NIN to update SIM registration records.

The registration will take place within two weeks (from December 16 to December 30).
