The spokesperson of the company, Mr. Jimmy Enyeh, who signed the statement however noted that in order to ensure that the hitches experienced in the course if activation of the Set-Top Boxes were nipped in the bud, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on its Facebook page, requested viewers to send a Short Messaging Service (SMS), using their decoder unique identity number to 09099966669.
