The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has urged telecom operators in Nigeria to begin SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards registration effective from 1st of March 2010. The registration process will include the capture of the photograph and biometrics of the subscriber.
According to NCC, valid identification documents like E- Passports, work place ID card with Pension Identification/Tax Numbers, student ID cards from recognized institutions, as well drivers license issued by the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and E-Tax cards would be required for registration of SIM cards.
The aim of the exercise is to improve the telecom security in the country.
