NCC Urges Nigerians To Observe COVID-19 Protocols As NIN Enrolment Continues

In line with its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has asked Nigerians to adhere strictly to the stipulated COVID-19 guidelines during the ongoing National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment process in various centres across the country.

The Nigerian Communications Commission also advised telecoms operators to ensure that their field officers equally observe the Coronavirus guidelines and protect themselves as well as the public during the ongoing National Identification Number (NIN) exercise.

NCC is the independent national regulatory authority for the telecommunications industry in the country.

The Commission, in a consumer education and protection message posted on its Facebook page restated the necessity to keep safe at NIN enrolment centres, and advised telecoms subscribers to observe the Coronavirus guidelines.

This is especially important during the ongoing National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment process in various centres across Nigeria, so as to curtail the spread of the damaging virus.

The telecoms regulator says: “The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) wishes to call on telephone line Subscribers to adhere strictly to COVID-19 Safety Guidelines in the National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment process in order to stop the spread of the virus.

The Commission further noted that the Commission “is urging all subscribers undergoing the NIN enrolment to keep safe while doing so by wearing a facemask and maintaining social distance.”

NCC thus reminds Nigerian consumers to always maintain physical distancing, wear nose masks, frequently wash their hands, and apply hand sanitisers to protect themselves, their loved ones, and others in the country.
