As per his explanation, the phone lines blocked by telecommunications companies have exceeded the deadline of February 28, 2024 set by the regulatory body requiring telecom customers to connect their SIM cards to their National Identification Numbers (NIN).
He said, “If the barred lines are not acted upon in the next 180 days. They won’t be able to receive calls but will only be able to text and make calls. But after the stipulated days, they would be barred from making calls too. And might forfeit their lines to their respective service provider within 365 days.”
