MUST ALL ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES BE PUT ON HOLD?

By Political Animal.

Government should have been mindful of the stress the directive that citizens should register their Sims during the Covid19 pandemic.

There should have been some level of critical thinking on how to make it easier.

You cannot because of National Identity Number ( NIN) registration and shut down economic activities for several months.

Stopping the sale of new sim cards for voice and data is the same way our leaders are fumbling with the lives of people.

There are many who depend on that for their daily livelihood, when you have many unemployed citizens.

We must begin to lend voices to this level of disorderliness in governance.

We know that due to many unregistered SIM cards,it becomes very difficult for security agencies to track crime and criminals.

These security issues should be addressed through technology to enhance efficiency.

But there are students who use SIM registration as agents to sponsor their education.

If you close the business down for months,what do expect them to do?

You cannot render them jobless and idle and expect them to be patriotic citizens.

Before 2014 ,many network providers paid a huge fine for not disconnecting unregistered some,why is the issue of unregistered Sims a problem.What are the regulators doing?

But we must also not look away from what ugly contributions ,we, as citizens have made which is keeping us where we are.
Many hardly do anything until the dying minutes even when notices have been given for months or even years.

We,as citizens are also the ones manipulating sim cards to commit crimes.

Let us keep lending reasonable voices without bias, believing that things shall turn arround shortly.
