The Nigerian Communications Commissions, NCC, has slammed N74 million fine on four major network operators in the country.
They were said to have violated such regulations as quality of service, approval for promotions and advertisements, and sim registration in a controlled environment.
A breakdown shows that MTN was asked to pay N5 million; Airtel- N20 million; Glo- N30 million and 9mobile- N5 million.
The operators were only fined for sim registration infractions and unapproved promotions and advertisements as well as the failure to provide information on collapsed towers.
The telecoms regulator warned the operators to desist from registering sim cards under umbrellas, kiosks or other uncontrolled environment, effective from February 2017, saying non-compliance would attract a fine of N5 million per incident.
