Telecommunication Company, MTN, has announced operation resumption across the Nation after a nationwide shutdown on Tuesday.
MTN disclosed this via a post on X, stating that its physical shops would be open to customers from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm starting today, July 31.
The statement read, “Y’ello customer, please note that our shops nationwide will be open today, 31 July. Operating hours: 8.00 am-3:00 pm. We are also available 24/7 to support you via digital channels.”
Recall that the Telecom operator on Tuesday announced a total shutdown following the vandalization of its outlets, sparked by the disconnection of subscribers who failed to link their SIM cards to their National Identification Numbers.
Over the weekend, many subscribers found themselves unable to access their phone lines after failing to verify their NINs with SIMs, leading to their numbers being blocked in compliance with NIN-SIM linkage regulations.
This blockage prompted thousands of subscribers to storm telecom offices on Monday, leading the Nigerian Communications Commission to direct telecommunications operators to immediately restore all affected lines.
The NCC, in a statement signed on Monday by the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, urged the service provider to reactivate all disconnected lines.
