The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)
has stopped Globacom Nigeria’s plans to offer
free data to all its subscribers on Friday, August
11, 2017.
This was contained in a letter signed by Sunday
Dare, NCC Commissioner for Stakeholder
Management, for Umar Danbatta, the Executive
Vice Chairman, on Tuesday.
The commission explained that the promotion
was not in line with what was approved by the
regulator.
Glo had annouced that eligible subscribers, will
enjoy as much as 200 megabytes of data for
free, in what it called the “free data day”.
“Please refer to the commission’s letter dated
14th March, 2017 conveying approval for your
Glo overload promotion. It has however come to
our notice that Globacom Nigeria Ltd has been
implementing the above regulatory approval in
breach especially given your recent media
campaign on the ‘Glo free data offer’, a clear
departurre from terms and condition of the
approval given for the Glo overload promotion
“Consequent upon the above, you are hereby
directed to suspend implementation of the Glo
overload promotion from your network with
immediate effect,” the letter read.
NCC also summoned the chief executive officer
(CEO) of Globacom Nigeria, Gladys Talabi, to a
meeting at the commission’s headquarters in
Abuja for August 17, 2017.
