The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) disclosed on Monday that subscribers of the telecommunications company, Globacom (Glo) may be unable to make calls to MTN lines, due to the non-settlement of interconnect charges. This was made known in a statement issued by NCC’s Director, Public Affairs Department, Reuben Muoka.
The statement reads in part, “Globacom was notified of the application made by MTN and was given the opportunity to comment and state its case.
“The Commission, having examined the application and circumstances surrounding the indebtness, determined that Globacom does not have sufficient or justifiable reason for non-payment of the interconnect charges.”
The Commission also disclosed that upon the expiration of 10 days from the date of this notice, “subscribers of Globacom will no longer be able to make calls to MTN but will be able to receive calls.
“The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network.”
This is not the first time such a development has occurred. In 2019, MTN, acting upon directive from NCC, barred Glo subscribers over a N4Bn debt.
