•Don’t punish us for investing in Nigeria – MTN

Operators in the telecommunications industry on Monday openly argued on why the Nigerian Communications Commission should or should not transfer Visafone’s licence and spectrum to MTN Nigeria Communications Limited.

Following the acquisition of 100 per cent equity of Visafone by MTN in 2015, Visafone had applied to the regulatory agency for the transfer of its frequency and licence to MTN.

Although the NCC had approved the acquisition deal, it has yet to approve the transfer of the frequency and licence to MTN, even as 9mobile had gone to court to challenge the transfer of the frequency to MTN.

At a public hearing in Abuja on Monday, Airtel and 9mobile argued that transferring Visafone’s 800 Megahertz spectrum would concentrate 38 per cent spectrum available in the country on MTN and thereby give the company undue advantage to further dominate the Nigerian telecommunications market.

MTN cannot come and dominate the market it won't spell good for the consumers as they would end up monopolizing the industry and keep being expensive to run. Since I started using GLO, it has been very fantastic. Speed and service quality.
