The Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has debunked the rumours that the latest barring of SIMs by network operators was an attempt to frustrate the planned protest billed to start August 1.
The ALTON Chairman, Mr. Gbenga Adebayo, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday night, noting that it was just coincidental that the barring of lines by telecommunications companies was coming at a time some Nigerians were preparing for a protest.
Over the weekend, many subscribers have had their lines barred by their telcos, even after doing the NIN-SIM linkage. This came as some youth groups are planning a nationwide protest from Aug. 1 to Aug. 10, to demand solutions to the rising cost of living and economic hardship in the country.
