The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, said it is yet to renew the MTN Nigeria Universal Access and Service  License (UASL).

NCC said this while reacting to a story published by online media that the government has renewed the MTN license for another ten years.

According to the statement “The attention of Nigerian Communication Commission has been drawn to a publication in an online media entitled “Govt renews MTN Nigeria licence amid 20 years of GSM Phones” to the effect that the mobile operating license of MTN has been renewed by the Commission for another period of ten years.

“The online publication which cited regulatory filings by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) as its source, stated that “MTN Nigeria, the nation’s largest mobile network operator (MNO), has secured regulatory approval of the renewal of its operating licence for another 10 years with effect from September 1, 2021.”

“The Commission wishes to state that while MTN Nigeria has applied for the renewal of the Universal Access and Service  License (UASL) granted to it by the Commission, the application is yet to be approved as it is still undergoing required regulatory processes.
