The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced that the interconnect debt dispute between MTN Nigeria Plc and Globacom Limited has been amicably resolved.
This development, therefore, prevents a potential service disruption for millions of subscribers using both networks.
Following an initial public notice, the NCC said it facilitated mediation between the two telecom giants, leading to a withdrawal of the disconnection approval granted to MTN.
“In order to proactively address and prevent future instances of interconnect indebtedness within the industry, the Commission will be requesting relevant records and regular updates from MNOs, as well as adopting a transparent approach towards industry indebtedness”, the NCC said in the statement signed by its director of public affairs, Reuben Mouka.
“This statement serves as a reminder of the Commission’s commitment to fostering a stable and compliant telecommunications ecosystem in Nigeria,” it added.
