The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced plans to restrict Glo subscribers from calling MTN lines due to unresolved interconnectivity charges.

A notice signed by Mr Reuben Muoka, NCC’s Director of Public Affairs had alerted Globacom network to the unsettled charges.

After examining the circumstances, NCC decided that Globacom lacked sufficient reasons for non-payment, Muoka said on Monday.

“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,” a statement said.

The NCC said at the expiration of 10 days from the date of this notice, the Globacom subscribers would not be able to make calls to MTN lines.

“The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network,” the statement added.
