That new glo advert comes to mind. Watch out

Thank God Have Reg My own

NCC still have alot to do rather than talking abt registering SIM here and there. Call tariffs, data plans, and other high charges of using mobile phone shud be reduced to the nearest minimal rates.

More so, how authentic is this registering of SIM cards itself, cos I can't remember how many times I've registered my MTN SIM and I still get notified by MTN to come again to register. Wot happened to the previous one registered?

Good

It should be unbiometricated bank accounts not SIM card. I know people still operating bank accounts without BVN with help of corrupt bankers and many politicians operate such banks accounts as well.

They have to be directed. Why were they being paid salaries?

I honestly think it's a good move considering the insecurity

If not for laziness, what stops one from registering his/her sim?

After,they would say they are fighting corruption

Instead of them to focus on xenophobia attack and how to pay back airpeace...

Issoryt.. But I don't think a SIM that is yet to be registered can be used to make calls or even browse.

Where does the figures that NCC is talking about came from?

In April, 2019, 28 Lawyers were issued their letters of employment having scaled the hurdles of various interviews stages conducted by Oyo State Ministry of Justice, their joy knew no bound.
Their joy was however curtailed when the new governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde informed them that his administration cannot inherit the past administration's employees even though they were employed under the normal employment procedure and neither of them owns any allegiance to the past governor.
The governor informed them that his administration will conduct new recruitment and if they are interested they should apply. All appeals for the governor to retract his stands fell on deaf ears and the further appeal to him to pay them their 5 months outstanding salaries seems was equally overlooked by the governor.
Government is expected to be continual, but it is quite unfortunate that these innocent lawyers will have to bear the burnt of power play to which they know nothing about.
It is a shame that the governor to whom we all hold in high esteem will chose to play politics with a sensitive matter that evolves around lives and survival of these innocent employees.

So on point. Some people just need it for other uses aside calling. So they don't care about registering the actual details.
