The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has launched the Device Management System (NCC-DMS) to regulate mobile devices accessing Nigeria’s networks. This system acts as a Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR), ensuring that all Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) connect to it for stricter device control and enhanced security. The initiative aims to curb unauthorized devices and combat phone theft. The NCC-DMS will track devices using their International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), maintaining a comprehensive device registry. Suppliers and users must pay registration fees under this system. Overall, this move enhances transparency, national security, and consumer protection while reducing phone-related crimes.
What do you think about this new regulation? Will it effectively address phone theft and fraud in Nigeria?
