NCC FINE: MTN, AIRTEL, GLO PAYS?

There were strong indications yesterday that
telecoms giants – MTN, Globacom and Airtel- may
have paid the fines imposed on them by the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) for not meeting
the quality of service Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) set for the industry.
A source confirmed yesterday that payment was
made by three of the penalised operators, except
Etisalat.
The source said NCC received confirmation of
payment from the trio on Monday evening. He said
for the operators and the commission, "it was a win-
win situation.".
When contacted, NCC's Director of Public Affairs, Mr
Tony Ojobo, could not confirm the payments as he
was attending a meeting in Lagos.
He said: "I am not in Abuja and cannot confirm if the
operators have paid or not."
But MTN's Corporate Services Executive, Mr Wale
Goodluck, confirmed his company had paid the fine,
at the Sixth Business Law Conference of the Nigerian
Bar Association (NBA) in Lagos.
