The Ministry of Communications and Digitalization has informed that people who fail to obey the directive will have their SIM cards deactivated.
In a statement, the group noted that the deadline could be extended to January 2023.
“As a business people in the industry, it will be very detrimental to our business and the industry, in general, should the government pursue the 31st July 2022. We appeal that with realism and having considered inconveniences and challenges, the government should extend the deadline to January 2023.”
