Mobile telecoms trailblazer – Globacom – has announced the recommencement of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) activation in select retail outlets in Nigeria.
The company said it is sequel to the lifting of the erstwhile embargo placed on activations of new SIM cards and replacement of lost ones, which the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy had announced last December with strict enforcement by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
According to the network provider, both existing and prospective Glo subscribers will now enjoy the opportunity to activate a new SIM or replace lost/damaged SIM on provision of a valid National Identification Number (NIN), which is the new guideline given by NCC.
Glo said: “For us, the needs of our customers come first. We are keenly aware of the difficulty the ban had on our existing and prospective subscribers while it lasted and look forward to the respite they will have with the recommencement of SIM activations”.
Globacom further explained: “We have already commenced SIM registration and activations in line with the announced guidelines of NCC. All our esteemed customers have to do is to visit the GLO SIM Activation outlet closest to them.
