In line with its powers under the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003 to grant and renew licences, promote fair competition and develop the Communications Industry, the Nigerian Communications Commission (the Commission) has temporarily suspensed issuance of new licences in the following categories:

  1. Interconnect Exchange Licence

According to a statement by NCC's Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka), this temporary suspension is necessary to enable the Commission to conduct a thorough review of several key areas within these categories, including the current level of competition, market saturation and current market dynamics.

The statement said the "public is invited to note that during the suspension period commencing on 17th of May, 2024, new application for the aforementioned licences will not be accepted. This is without prejudice to pending applications before the Commission which will be considered on their merits.

"Any enquiries or clarifications in respect of this Suspension Notice should be forwarded to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Date this 17th day of May 2024".
