The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, announced to the public that clearance had been obtained for the disconnection of Exchange Telecommunications Limited, Exchange, from MTN Nigeria Communications Limited, MTN, due to non-payment of interconnection costs.

“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,” the statement signed by Reuben Muoka, NCC Director, Public Affairs said.
“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.
