'In line with the Federal Government desire to consolidate the achievement of the SIM Card registration exercise of September 2019, the Honourable

“In line with the Federal Government desire to consolidate the achievement of the SIM Card registration exercise of September 2019, the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim , has directed the Nigerian Communications Commission to embark on another audit of the Subscriber Registration Database again.

With the above press statement from the Nigeria Communications Commission , on December 9, 2020, the Federal Government suspended the sale, registration and activation on new mobile telephony Subscriber Identification Module cards in the country. However, beyond the fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, some Nigerians are concerned about the economic implications of the suspension which they claimed was impacting negatively than most Nigerians are aware.

But industry ‘’watchers’’ believe that with the suspension, these young Nigerians have gone back to the labour market, and many probably to the ‘’conditions they prayed they never went to again.’’ “However, the federal government must thread carefully considering that, all available research works on the causes of insecurity across the country have been linked primarily to youth unemployment.”

According to experts, government did not think through the implications the suspension of the SIM sale, registration and activation would have before embarking on the policy. “Aside the economic implications of the loss of these jobs and business opportunities, as many of these young people were actually entrepreneurs, there are also the attendant security implications, which government is not looking at. It is good you want to audit the subscriber database and link NIN to the SIMs, but government never thought of the implications of taking away the livelihoods of millions of young Nigerians.

“It is true that the boys and girls who were providing the services, sales, registration and activation of new SIMs are longer on the street but that does not say new cards are not being sold, registered and activated. It has only moved away from the streets to the offices and that is the fact”, Sosina said.
