ABUJA – Nigeria’s communications regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has sanctioned a partial disconnection of Globacom’s network from MTN due to unresolved issues regarding interconnect fees. Reuben Muoka, the NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, confirmed that starting January 18, customers of Globacom, popularly known as Glo, will be unable to place voice calls to MTN subscribers. However, they will still be able to receive incoming calls from MTN.
The NCC’s decision is in line with the Nigerian Communications Act, which provides a regulatory framework for the telecommunications industry, including the management of interconnectivity between service providers. The action taken by the NCC follows established disconnection procedures set forth by the regulatory body to ensure compliance and resolve such disputes.
Despite the restriction on voice calls to MTN, Glo customers will retain full access to data services and will be able to make outgoing calls to other networks. The partial disconnection aims to prompt a resolution between the two telecommunications giants while minimizing the impact on customers. The enforcement of this measure underscores the NCC’s commitment to maintaining a fair and balanced telecoms ecosystem in Nigeria.
