MTN’s Unified Access Service Licence Not Yet Renewed Says NCC
|
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said that the MTN’s Unified Access Service Licence is yet to be renewed. The Commission in a statement signed by Director, Public Affairs, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, said the clarification became necessary as its attention has been drawn to a publication in an online media entitled “Govt renews MTN Nigeria licence amid 20 years of GSM Phones” to the effect that the mobile operating licence of MTN has been renewed by the Commission for another period of 10 years. He said the online publication, which cited regulatory filings by the NCC as its source, stated that “MTN Nigeria, the nation’s largest mobile network operator (MNO), has secured regulatory approval of the renewal of its operating licence for another 10 years with effect from September 1, 2021.” The Commission said; “while MTN Nigeria has applied for the renewal of the Unified Access Service Licence ((UASL) granted to it by the Commission, the application is yet to be approved as it is still undergoing required regulatory processes. ” This statement is issued for the guidance of our general stakeholders”, the Commission said.
