By Juliet Umeh

ABUJA — The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has commenced the implementation of a technology-enabled framework to strengthen monitoring and enforcement of Type Approval requirements for SIM-enabled communications devices in Nigeria.

The Commission said the initiative would enable it to electronically determine the Type Approval compliance status of SIM-enabled devices imported, sold and used in the country.

According to a statement by the Director, Public Affairs, NCC, Nnenna Ukoha, issued on Wednesday, the Device Management System, DMS, would serve as the technology platform for the automated compliance framework.
