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

NCC told Confiance News in a statement on Thursday.

“In accordance with this resolution, the disconnection approval granted to MTN for the disconnection of Globacom has now been withdrawn.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,” it explained.

Confiance News learnt that the Commission reiterates that strict adherence to the terms and conditions of licenses, particularly those delineated in interconnection agreements, is imperative for all Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and other licensees within the telecommunications industry.

The statement further revealed that NCC will be requesting relevant records and regular updates from MNOs, as well as adopting a transparent approach towards industry indebtedness in order to proactively address and prevent future instances of interconnect indebtedness within the industry.

The Commission, however, reiterated its  resolve towards ensuring stability in the system.

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