    The National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATCOMS) has asked the Federal Government to grant a one-month extension of the deadline for mobile network operators to disconnect phone subscribers that have not linked their National Identification Number (NIN) from March 2024.

    Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo, National President, NATCOMS, told Technology Times in an exclusive Thursday, the eve of the expiration of the NIN linkage deadline, that the government should not further compound the hardship currently faced by Nigerians in the face of the economic hardship.

    Should the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) fail to heed the plea of Nigerian subscribers to extend to March 31, 2024, Ogunbanjo hinted at the next line of action to be taken by NATCOMS in this interview.
