The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has reassured Nigerian mobile phone users that their existing devices will not be impacted by the new Type Approval Compliance policy. According to the Commission's Director of Technical Standards and Network Integrity, Engr.

The NCC implemented this measure to ensure that imported, sold, and used devices in Nigeria adhere to technical and regulatory standards, aiming to enhance consumer protection, improve network integrity, and promote the use of approved communications equipment. Businesses facing compliance challenges are encouraged to contact the Commission through its short code, 315, for assistance, as the process has been designed to be straightforward for those with the necessary documentation.
