MADE PURSUANT TO THE NIGERIAN COMMUNICATIONS ACT 2003 AND
THE GUIDELINES FOR PROCEDURE FOR GRANTING APPROVAL TO
DISCONNECT TELECOMMUNICATIONS OPERATORS, 2012
The Nigerian Communications Commission hereby notifies 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.
Exchange was notified of the application and was 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.
Please note that this disconnection will subsist until otherwise determined by the
Commission.
Dated this Day, Friday, 27th December, 2024.
Signed:
Reuben Muoka
Director, Public Affairs
