Nigerian biggest Telecom provider 'MTN' has been slammed with an unbelievable $5 million fine for failing to adhere to a rule passed out by the NCC.
The NCC has issued our dear MTN a N1 trillion fine for trying to be a little caring towards us and not deactivating millions of Sim cards, early this year NCC stated that all unregistered Sim cards bought before January 2012 be disconnected - Which MTN failed to do.
From that date, anybody buying a new Sim card must register under his/her name.
According to BBC news, "this fine is the largest in the history of Telecom infringements".
There was a time last month or last two months when MTN deactivated a lot of Sim cards for having incomplete details and a lot of people had to re-register their lines, was this not enough in the eyes of the NCC?
