The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has suspended for 21 days the approval granted to MTN Nigeria to disconnect Glo due to interconnection debt dispute.
NCC stated that both mobile network operators are expected to resolve all outstanding issues within the 21-day period.
Recall that on January 8, 2024 the telecoms regulatory commission had published a pre-disconnection notice informing subscribers of the approval granted to MTN to commence a phased disconnection of Globacom with effect from January 18, 2024 due to long-standing interconnection debt dispute between the parties.
In granting the approval, NCC disclosed it was deeply conscious of the potential impacts of the decision on consumers and therefore continued to engage both parties to facilitate a resolution which prioritises and protects consumer interest and the seamless operation of the national telecoms network.
