In addition to currency exchange updates, recent industry developments have impacted telecommunications in Nigeria significantly.

South African multinational corporation and mobile telecommunications provider, MTN, faced a notable decline of 7.3 million active subscriptions in January 2024. This decline was attributed to complying with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)’s directive to deactivate SIM cards not linked with National Identification Numbers (NINs).

The NCC’s directive, issued in December 2023, mandated all telecommunication operators, including MTN, Airtel, Globacom, and 9mobile, to implement a full network barring on phone lines without submitted NINs by February 28, 2024.

Subscribers failing to provide valid NINs faced the threat of complete deactivation. For unverified NINs with five or more connected lines, deactivation was slated for March 29, 2024, while lines with fewer connections were set for deactivation by April 15, 2024.

MTN’s active subscriptions dropped from 87 million in December 2023 to 79.7 million in January 2024, signaling a significant loss of approximately 7.3 million subscriptions, according to the most recent NCC data.
