The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced the approval for disconnecting Exchange Telecommunications Limited (Exchange) from MTN Nigeria Communications Limited (MTN) due to unpaid interconnect charges.
According to the NCC, Exchange was informed of the application and given the chance to respond and present its case.
After reviewing the application and the circumstances of the debt, the Commission concluded that Exchange failed to provide sufficient justification for its non-payment of the charges.
“The public is, therefore, requested to take notice that: The Commission has approved the Disconnection of Exchange to MTN in accordance with Section 100 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003 and the Guidelines on Procedure for Granting Approval to Disconnect Telecommunications Operators, 2012,” the statement signed by Reuben Muoka, NCC Director, Public Affairs said.
“At the expiration of 5 (Five) days from the date of this notice, MTN will discontinue passing voice and data traffic through Exchange and will, thereafter, utilise alternative channels in interconnecting with other Network Service Providers.
“Please note that this disconnection will subsist until otherwise determined by the Commission.”
