The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has granted MTN the approval to disconnect Glo from its network following interconnect debt.
The NCC announced the development in public notice signed by its Director, Public Affairs Department, Reuben Muoka on Monday.
According to the notice, the commission granted partial approval for Globacom disconnection from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.
“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 indebtedness, determined that Globacom does not have sufficient or justifiable reason for non-payment of the interconnect charges.”
The NCC revealed that at 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.”
