NCC restores regulatory services to Globacom after telecom firm pays debts
The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has restored regulatory services to one of its licensees, Globacom Limited.
NCC’s spokesman, Reuben Muoka, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
Mr Muoka said this came after Globacom successfully cleared its outstanding debt obligations to the commission for unpaid spectrum fees, numbering fees and annual operating levy (AOL).
He said the commission had also stepped down its planned enforcement action against Globacom over its breach of extant regulations by failing to pay its debts despite several demand notices.
“The commission had temporarily withdrawn the suspension of regulatory services to Globacom in a letter dated May 22, 2023, titled ‘Re: Continuous Breach of Commission’s Laws and Regulations’.
“The suspension of regulatory services to Globacom was automatically reinstated after it failed to meet the conditions for the earlier withdrawal,” Mr Mouka said.
