Forty-eight hours after the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) mandated telecommunications companies to restore access to blocked phone lines, millions of Nigerians remain disconnected from their mobile networks.
This situation has sparked widespread frustration and anger among affected users. In a decisive move, the NCC issued a directive instructing all Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to promptly unblock the lines that were restricted over the weekend.
The Commission emphasised the critical role of telecommunications services in supporting the nation’s economy and stressed the urgency of adhering to the order.
Despite this clear mandate, the delay in restoring service has left many subscribers in a state of exasperation.
However, despite the clear directive, telcos appear to have turned a deaf ear to the NCC’s order. Numerous complaints have flooded social media platforms, with affected Nigerians expressing frustration and demanding swift intervention.
