The federal government has been urged to withdraw the suspension order placed on sales, registration and activation of SIM cards, following reported hardship being faced by phone users in the country.
In a statement by the Association of SIM Registration Agents (ASREG), Kwara State chapter, in Ilorin on Friday, the group also said that millions of Nigerian youths have been rendered jobless by the recent suspension order by the Federal Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy.
It is recalled that the Federal government directive on the suspension of new registration of SIM cards was attributed to the rising insecurity across the country. It was said that unlimited access to pre-registered SIM cards has always aided criminals to perpetuate and get away with their acts of kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and acts of terrorism.
