Glo, MTN resolve interconnect debt dispute

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced that the interconnect debt dispute between MTN Nigeria Communications Plc. (MTN) and Globacom Limited (Globacom) has been resolved amicably.

In a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs of the NCC, Reuben Mouka, in accordance with this resolution, the disconnection approval granted to MTN for the disconnection of Globacom has been withdrawn.

“Following its initial public notice, the Commission, with the aim of mitigating any potential disruptions to subscribers, undertook further regulatory intervention by mediating between the parties and facilitating the reconciliation process,” the statement said.

The NCC reiterated that strict adherence to the terms and conditions of licences, particularly those delineated in interconnection agreements, is imperative for all mobile network operators (MNOs) and other licensees within the telecommunications industry.

“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.

“This statement serves as a reminder of the Commission’s commitment to fostering a stable and compliant telecommunications ecosystem in Nigeria,” the statement added.
