Nigerian telecom operators may soon be required to give subscribers 14 days’ notice before SIM disconnection. The move, part of the NCC’s TIRMS rollout, aims to reduce fraud and ensure accountability in managing churned or inactive mobile numbers.

The rules mandate stronger checks and balances across Nigeria’s telecom boards, with stricter requirements for independent directors, ICT expertise, and limitations on executive authority.
NCC enforces President Tinubu’s Executive Order criminalizing telecom infrastructure damage, addressing vandalism, theft, and access issues. The commission promotes public awareness, stakeholder coordination, and media collaboration to protect critical assets and ensure reliable nationwide services.
