The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says 100 per cent of the SIM cards used in the country are manufactured locally.
The Nigerian Communications Commission says 100 per cent of the SIM cards used in the country are manufactured locally.
Digima attributed the feat to the commission’s commitment in encouraging local content and indigenous participation in the industry through the Nigeria Office for Development in Indigenous Telecommunications Sector . “We directed all the Mobile Network Operators to source their SIM cards locally, and in fact, as at now 100 per cent of all the SIM cards used in Nigeria are manufactured locally, no importation,” Digima said.
“For now, we are currently sponsoring the manufacture of Corrugated Ordinal Duct, and the company that will be established will be the first in the whole of Africa to manufacture such kind of product. Maida, who was represented by Engr. Abraham Oshadami, the Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, NCC, said the commission needed to develop a mechanism that would enable the consumers and stakeholders understand how things work in the industry.
“It is to enable you understand the commission and to see the operational interventions that the commission has engaged in over the time, as well as challenges we are having.
