The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has given an approval to MTN’s request to embark on partial disconnection of Globacom (Glo) from its network due to unpaid inter-connection charges.
The NCC Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka announced on Monday.
A document titled ‘Pre-Disconnection Notice’ said the action came after Glo failed to settle its outstanding debts despite repeated efforts for an amicable resolution of the dispute.
The statement said that under this partial disconnection, Globacom subscribers would only be able to make outgoing calls to other networks except MTN.

The statement read, “All subscribers are, therefore requested to take notice that the Commission has approved the Partial Disconnection of Globacom to MTN by Section 100 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003 and Paragraph 9 of the Guidelines on Procedure for Granting Approval to Disconnect Telecommunications Operators, 2012.
“At the expiration of 10 days from January 8, 2024, subscribers of Globacom will no longer be able to make calls to MTN but will be able to receive calls.
“The Partial Disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network,” the NCC stated.
