 MTN Resumes Operations After Nationwide Shutdown

The firm closed shop on Tuesday following customer outrage and vandalism of its properties in connection with disconnection of subscribers who failed to link their SIM cards to their National Identification Numbers.


Over the weekend, many subscribers found themselves unable to access their phone lines after failing to verify their NINs with SIMs, leading to their numbers being blocked in compliance with NIN-SIM linkage regulations.


This blockage prompted thousands of subscribers to storm telecom offices on Monday, leading the Nigerian Communications Commission to direct telecommunications operators to immediately restore all affected lines.
