The Nigerian Communications Commission has notified the public that approval
has been granted for the disconnection of Exchange Telecommunications Limited
(Exchange) from MTN Nigeria Communications Limited (MTN) as a result of non settlement of interconnect charges.
This is contained in a statement signed by Reuben Muoka,
Director, Public Affairs of the commission and a copy made available to The Reporters on Friday.
According to Muoka, the Exchange was notified of the application and given opportunity to comment
and state its case.
“The Commission, having examined the application and
circumstances surrounding the indebtedness, determined that Exchange does not
have sufficient reason for non-payment of the interconnect charges.
“The public is, therefore, requested to TAKE NOTICE that:
“The Commission has approved the Disconnection of Exchange to MTN in accordance with Section 100 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003 and the Guidelines on Procedure for Granting Approval to Disconnect Telecommunications Operators, 2012.
” At the expiration of 5 (Five) days from the date of this notice, MTN will discontinue passing voice and data traffic through Exchange and will, thereafter, utilise alternative channels in interconnecting with other Network Service Providers.”
NCC said that this disconnection would subsist until otherwise determined by its management.
