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.

What's MTN shared data?

This is kind of a sad news to all subscribers who has prepared for the D-day, 11th of August, to enjoy Glo free data day. It is disheartening to announce that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has stopped the grand masters of data from proceeding with the offer. ��

I mean data resell. I buy from a reliable junior colleague and it lasts 3 months and affordable

NCC enemies of progress right from time, but anyway its nothing.. Cos I know that day people will be seeing Edge network on their phone

NCC is against the masses. That damn thing should be scrapped.



Genius J

The rule of NCC is to regulate the telecom market, so I wonder why they are frustrating the effort of a telecom coy that wants to put smile on people's face
