The Nigerian Communications Commission has decided to suspend the planned restriction of Glo subscribers from calling MTN lines for 21 days.
The commission conveyed this decision in a statement on Thursday, signed by Reuben Mouka, its Director of Public Affairs, as a follow-up to the Pre-Disconnection Notice issued on January 8, 2024.
In the initial notice, the commission had approved MTN Nigerian Communications Plc. to initiate the phased disconnection of Globacom Limited starting from January 18, 2024, citing a prolonged interconnection debt dispute between the two companies.
Announcing its extension, the NCC said, “The commission is pleased to announce that the parties have now reached an agreement to resolve all outstanding issues between them. For this reason, and in the exercise of its regulatory powers in that regard, the commission has put the phased disconnection on hold for 21 days from today, January 17, 2024.
“Whilst the commission expects MTN and Glo to resolve all outstanding issues within the 21 days, the commission insists that interconnect debts must be settled by all operating companies as a necessary component towards compliance with regulatory obligations of all licensees.”
