The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Airtel Nigeria have clarified that the mobile operating licence of Airtel Nigeria is still pending,
The chief executive officer, Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya had during the media launch of ‘Airtel Touching Lives 6’ in Lagos stated Airtel has renewed its operating licence for another 10-year-period.
However, a statement last night by the director, public affairs of NCC, Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde, denied that stating that the application is yet to be approved as it is still undergoing required regulatory process. Adinde said “The Commission wishes to state that while Airtel Nigeria has applied for the renewal of the Unified Access Service Licence granted to it by the commission, the application is yet to be approved as it is still undergoing required regulatory process. This statement is issued for the guidance of our stakeholders.
He said, “During the launch of our flagship corporate social responsibility programme titled Airtel Touching Lives, last week, a contrast was drawn between operating licence and social licence.“Whilst the operating license is issued by NCC, we stated that a social license is earned by what a company does for its communities. We are very proud of our Touching Lives Program which gives support to the less privileged in our communities.
