Sad As NCC Thwarts Glo Free Data Day That Was Scheduled To Commence Today
For those of you that had already put on your Glo browsing SIM while waiting and hoping to key into and start enjoying the Glo declaration on today’s free data offer, it is sad to let you know that the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), the body solely responsible for the regulation of the activities of telecom operators in the country has thwarted the planned Glo Free Data Day.
The NCC believed that the promotion was nowhere in line with the commissions allowed standard of operation and therefore quickly issued a statement of suspension to Globacom.
An excerpt from the letter of notification for the suspension, which was issued by NCC commissioner for stakeholder for the commission’s vice executive chairman Umar Danbatta reads as follows;
“…..it has come to our notice that Globacom Nigeria Ltd has been implementing the above regulatory approval in breach especially given your recent media campaign on ‘Glo free data offer’, a clear departure from the terms and conditions of the approval given for the Glo overload promotion.
Consequent upon the above, you are hereby directed to suspend the implementation of the Glo overload promotion from your network with immediate effect”
In addition to that it was also learnt that NCC also summoned some Glo stakeholders to a meeting at the commissions headquarter in Abuja.
