3 days ago


In Nigeria, services related to SIM cards have been suspended due to the transition to a new identity verification system from the National Identification Management Commission (NIMC).

Causes of Suspension

The Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) reported that all mobile operators in the country temporarily suspended SIM-related services due to the transition to a new ID platform. This move aims to enhance security and efficiency in the personal data verification process.

Impact on Users

Many subscribers are now facing delays in SIM card operations, making communication, business dealings, and access to digital services more difficult. Processes related to SIM registration, number porting, and other essential services have been temporarily halted. ALTON advised users to refrain from visiting telecom service centers until the issue is resolved.

Outlook for Service Restoration

No specific timelines have been announced for the full restoration of services. ALTON expressed apologies for the inconveniences caused and assured their commitment to working with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and other relevant entities to resolve the technical challenges promptly.

The suspension of SIM services in Nigeria resulted from the transition to a new identity verification system, leading to significant inconvenience for users in the short term. Operators are actively working to overcome these challenges.
