The telecommunication industry is beginning to shake off the effect of the National Identification Number and Subscriber Identity Module policy as it recovers 16.94 million active subscribers within 11 months, according to data from the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC.

The data revealed that active telecom subscribers grew from 187.28 million in June 2021 to 204.22 million in May 2022, which gives a growth of 16.94 million over the period.

After the ban, the number of active subscribers in the nation started witnessing a steady decline from 204.15 million in December 2020 to 187.28 million in June 2021. It began witnessing growth from June 2021 to reach 204.22 million in May 2022. It said, “The decrease in Operators’ subscriber base was attributed majorly to the effect of the directive from NCC in December 2020 to all GSM Operators to suspend the sale and registration of new SIMs, SIM swaps and all porting activities.

The Chief Operating Officer, Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria, Ajibola Olude, said, “There are many factors responsible for this. One is the continuous adoption and utilisation of telecom services. The President of the National Association of Telecoms Subscribers, Adeolu Ogunbanjo, added, “I am sure the growth is because of data use. If we do the analysis well, we would notice there has been increased Internet access leading to increased data usage.
