On January 8, 2024, ITREALMS recalled that NCC published a Pre-Disconnection Notice informing subscribers of the approval granted to MTN to commence the phased disconnection of Glo with effect from January 18, 2024 due to long-standing interconnection debt dispute between the parties.

Disclosing this development on behalf of NCC, the Director, Public Affairs, Mr. Reuben Muoka told ITREALMS that parties in the disconnection imbroglio, Messrs MTN and Glo, have now reached agreement to resolve all outstanding issues between them.

He also said that for this reason, and in exercise of its regulatory powers, that NCC has put the phased disconnection on hold for a period fo 21 days from Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

NCC, ITREALMS also gathered, insisted that interconnection debts must be settled by all operating companies as a necessary component towards compliance with regulatory obligations of all licensees.

“It is obligatory that Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and other licensees in the telecom industry keep to the terms and conditions of their licenses, especially as contained in their interconnection agreements,” Muoka said.
