From July 2021, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says that Nigerians will have to submit the International Mobile Equipment Identity of their phones to it under the Revised National Identity Policy for SIM Card Registration. This is so that there can be a Centralised Equipment Identity Register or Device Management System as directed by President Buhari.
According to the NCC: “It is expected to curtail the counterfeit mobile phone market, discourage mobile phone theft, enhance national security, protect consumer interest, increase revenue generation for the government, reduce rate of kidnapping, mitigate the use of stolen phones for crime, and facilitate blocking or tracing of stolen mobile phones and other smart devices.
