NATCOMS says NCC should still BAN Telco Promos to enhance Service

National Association of Telecommunications Subscribers (NATCOMS), has called for resumption of ban on telecommunications promos and lotteries, to ensure improved service.

Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo, national president of the body said that the lifting of the ban on promos by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had worsened the service by the providers.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that NCC had lifted the ban on lotteries and promos on April 12, since the operators met the Commission’s December 2012 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

The NATCOMS chief told the News Agency of Nigeria that promos and lotteries were still causing congestion from the telecom operators, thereby affecting the quality of service across the networks.

He said that subscribers had not enjoyed uninterrupted service from telecommunications operators since the lifting of the ban in April by the NCC.

Ogunbanjo said that promotions could resume when the operators stabilised the networks to the required capacities. - NCW
