The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has fined Airtel Nigeria ₦104 million for improper SIM registration practices, including activating SIMs outside licensed centers and linking numbers to multiple NINs. The telco has since upgraded its fraud prevention tools.
Airtel’s new AI-powered Spam Alert System flagged 9.6 million scam SMS in just 3 months. The company is also investing in 5G rollout and security tech, showing a stronger commitment to customer protection and regulatory compliance.
