The Nigerian Communications Commission has suspended its plan to bar Glo subscribers from calling MTN lines for 21 days.
In a statement on Thursday, NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Mouka, said the commission decided to suspend the action after the telcos agreed to resolve all outstanding issues between them.
Earlier the regulatory body said it has approved MTN Nigerian Communications Plc. to commence the phased disconnection of GlobalCOM Limited with effect from January 18, 2024, due to a long-standing interconnection debt dispute between the parties.
However, the commission in the latest directive said it is suspending the partial disconnection for 21 days with effect from January 18, 2024.
According to the NCC, its approval for disconnection would have potential impacts on consumers.
In its extension notice, the NCC stressed that mobile network operators and other licensees in the telecom industry must adhere to the terms and conditions of their licences, especially as contained in their interconnection agreements.
