The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said it is yet to conclude licence framework that will open telecoms market for the launch of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO).
Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, NCC Director of Public Affairs, made this known in a statement in Abuja last week.
The commission was reacting to an online report which stated that the organisation had concluded work on the licensing.
It categorically stated that such report was untrue, speculative, unfounded and should be disregarded in its entirety by members of the public.
“The MVNO licence framework, an important precursor to the licensing of this category of telecoms players, is not yet concluded, contrary to the statement in the said media report.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the commission, on December 10, 2020, published on its official website, the first draft document on Licence Framework for the Establishment of Mobile Virtual Network Operators in Nigeria.
“The publication followed an industry stakeholders’ workshop on MVNO for the purpose of collectively examining the potential benefits, technical feasibility, market demand and appropriate model for MVNO adoption in Nigeria.
