The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced March 26 as the launch date of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP).

Director of Public Affairs of the commission, Tony Ojobo made this disclosure during Channels Television’s flagship programme, Sunrise Daily, today in the video above.

“There will be a launch by the end of this month, we are going to flag it off’’

“So we are looking at the 26th of March or there about”.

Ojobo said the MNP will enable a consumer move from his service provider to another without losing the number he already uses despite the change in the SIM card of the consumer.

The service however will not be available to consumers who haven’t registered their SIM cards.

He further said service providers who try to woo consumers that have submitted request forms to another service provider will be dealt with by the commission.

The ability to choose or fire your GSM service provider is one whose time has come in Nigeria, and will only deepen competition among operators and improve service quality, so i think its a good one.

If na true eMptyhen don die!

I am just happy because MTN must so sit up, because people are stuck with them just because they were the first stable network provider so alot of people have the number for long and dont want to change it.

Don't worry.....when that date reaches.....another story will come out why the MNP date had to be shifted yet again.

Lovely!

We'll see about that, just hold your horses.

Nice move by the NCC.

They have been doing quite well lately with the reduction in SMS price, putting a stop to useless promos e.t.c.
I think what is left now is for them to drastically reduce mobile data prices and improve quality of services offered.

Hmmm... i pity mtn... any fvck up on their side would be their end...anyways, let the competition begin!

Nice move

it has happened....kia kia kia. *wicked laugh* at MTN

Good one. And what will the migration cost be like?

That's a good measure from NCC.
