NCC: Airtel Mobile Operating License Not Renewed Yet

Segun Ogunsanya
Managing Director/CEO
Airtel Nigeria

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says the mobile operating license of Airtel Nigeria has not been renewed for another period of 10 years contrary to a statement credited to Mr. Segun Ogunsanya, the Managing Director/CEO of Airtel Nigeria to that effect.
Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde, Director, Public Affairs of NCC said in a statement that “while Airtel Nigeria has applied for the renewal of the Universal Access and Service (UASL) License granted to it by the Commission, the application is yet to be approved as it is still undergoing required regulatory process.”
Adinde made it clear that the Commission had to issue the response for the guidance of its stakeholders.
Ogunsanya was alleged to have claimed renewal of Airtel Nigeria’s license in Lagos on Wednesday, July 14, 2021 during the media launch of the mobile operator’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, ‘Touching Lives 6.’
