Telecommunications Operator, Airtel Nigeria, has enjoined subscribers to take the opportunity of this festive season to register their Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card.
Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Airtel
Nigeria, Deepak Srivastava, counseled Nigerians to heed necessary safety and
security pre-cautions during the festive season, advising telecoms users to
activate their voicemail service and guide against phoning while driving.
The festive season, he said, provides excellent opportunities
for merry-making just as he noted that the occasion will also afford Nigerians
an opportunity to reflect and rededicate themselves to rebuilding the nation’s
economy.
Also, he advised existing customers and potential new
customers of Airtel who are yet to register their SIM card to take advantage of
the holiday to do so, adding that this will afford them the opportunity to
enjoy many of the innovative and affordable packages and services including
Airtel Steady-Steady and Club 10 among others that the company has introduced.
He insisted that Airtel SIM registration remains free and
that customers should in no way make payment for the service, stressing that
the company is prepared to take a serious action against any agent that demand
for money before registering customers.
Therefore, he urged Nigerians to be vigilant and to report
any attempt by any agent to abuse the process through any of its offices, or by
email, or phone call, providing such vital details as the name of the agent,
location such as the spot, town/city, and state, date and time of the day.
In line with the directive of the telecom industry umpire
director, the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), every phone in Nigeria
is expected to be register before the line owner can enjoy complete
telecommunication service
Srivastava then wished Nigerians happy celebrations and a
prosperous 2012, saying that Nigerians should use the festive occasions ahead
to spread love, extend goodwill and show appreciation to everyone, especially
those in need.
“I am extremely excited that most Nigerians are in a
celebratory mood. I wish every Nigerian the very best as we all mark the
yuletide season. May we all find peace, happiness and blessings in 2012. And
one way we can remain happy is if we heed safety warnings and security advice,”
Srivastava said.
The Airtel Chief Executive also assured telecoms consumers
that Airtel will continue to empower them with relevant solutions and the right
network to enable them have a fun-filled celebration.
