The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said that MTN and Globacom have both reached an agreement to resolve the interconnect debt issue, over which the former was to disconnect the latter today. This came as the 10-day pre-disconnection notice issued by the Commission lapsed today.

However, NCC in a statement signed by its Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Mouka, has announced that the disconnection is now ‘put on hold’ for 21 days starting from January 17th, 2024. Within this period, the debt issue is expected to have been completely resolved.

Recall that the telecoms regulator had last week approved a partial disconnection of Globacom by MTN over its refusal to pay interconnect debt.

The development then was to see MTN partially disconnect Glo network from its network as instructed by the telecoms regulator. It would mean that Globacom’s subscribers will not be able to make calls to any MTN number.
