NO MORE PROMO SCAM!: NCC BARS ALL TELECOMS

The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), has barred all telcos in the country from further promoting ongoing or planned promotional sales campaigns, in effort to address the worsening quality of service.
The ban which is effective immediately, covers all proposed and approved promotions and lotteries on which it has given approval further to the Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) entered into with the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) and cuts across both CDMA and GSM networks.
Tony Ojobo, director of public affairs at NCC stated that the commission had verified that the various promotional sales campaigns by the telecom operators had led to network congestions, and contributed greatly to the poor QoS experienced in the country.
