subscribers not to pay any fee to anyone while
registering their SIM cards.
Mr Adeyinka Adeniyi, the Trade Marketing Consultant,
MTN in Abuja told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
a telephone interview that collection of any fee or fine
during the process of registration was illegal.
He said that nobody should pay any money for
registration “because there is nothing like registration
fee’’.
He was reacting to complaints by some subscribers that
they were asked to pay N100 at an MTN outlet in Phase
3, Kubwa, a satellite town in Abuja.
It would be recalled that MTN had been sending out text
messages to subscribers to register their SIMs and
compensation ranging from NI000 to N20, 000 are
being sent to them.
However, long queues still persisted in most of the
registration outlets visited by NAN as subscribers
waited patiently to register their SIM cards.
At the Garki 11 outlet, subscribers were seen on long
queues as they registered their SIM cards.
Some of the subscribers however told NAN that they
were tired of the exercise because of the long wait on
the queues.
Mrs Patience Okojie said that she woke up as early as
5.a.m. to come out for the registration but on getting to
the place her number was 235.
She called on MTN to find a better and quicker way of
carrying out the exercise to avoid stress and hardship.
At the Lugbe outlet, subscribers were also seen on long
queue waiting patiently to register SIM cards.
