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.

Free 99'

The only regulate against the things that benefit the poor masses.
You'll never see them take punitve actions to curb the exploitative acts of MTN.

NCC is the reason why network providers are stingy or atimes provide poor network to subscribers

ordinary 200mb I weak mehn

NCC why......so the Sim wea i register today just waste...thunder fall on Una.

Currently, this seems to be the worst under-performing agency in the country which i cant wait to see it completely demolished. Never seen such a useless body as that.

I once reported a case to them that concerns sudden deductions on my fone by airtel in d midnite while i was asleep with proof, and all dey culd do is to keep giving me empty promises that dey are untop of d issue and dey will return back d money despite my calling dem about 5 good times.

I decided to do somtin more useful with my fone after the fruitless experience. Seems all they are interested in is to bring sadistic policies dat will spite d citizens against what is obtainable in other sane countries.
This organization is a complete waste of d country's resources.

Are you serious, this guys are chicken. Internet in this country supposed to be cheap but this people keep on leading us backwards. Even Abroad, internet services are mostly paid through tax and they don't feel it. My family relations over there really said were suffering over here.
