The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC has ordered telecommunication operators to immediately reconnect all phone lines that were blocked during the NIN-SIM verification exercise.
The NCC gave the order in a statement obtained by DAILY GIST on Monday.
This follows a crowd of subscribers that besiege various telecom companies across the country.
DAILY GIST reported earlier that MTN, the largest mobile network in Nigeria with millions of subscribers barred the telephone lines of several users on Sunday, allegedly for failing to link their National Identification Numbers (NIN) with their mobile phone numbers.
Some of the affected persons, however, alleged that the company did so as part of efforts to frustrate a planned nationwide anti-government.
