The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has debunked the news that it has renewed the MTN Unified Access and Service License (UASL) for another 10 years.
The clarification was made after an online news media published that the mobile operating license of MTN has been renewed by the Commission for another 10 years.
In a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs of NCC, Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde, on Monday said, “The attention of the Nigerian Communications Commission has been drawn to a publication in an online media entitled “Govt. renews MTN Nigeria license amid 20 years of GSM Phones,” to the effect that the mobile operating license of MTN has been renewed by the Commission for another period of 10 years.
“The Online publication which cited regulatory filings by the Nigerian Communications Commission (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 license for another 10 years with effect from September 1, 2021.”
“The Commission wishes to state that while MTN Nigeria has applied for the renewal of the Universal Access and Service License (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,” he concluded.
