The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday [Nov. 12] banned all promotions and lotteries being run by telecoms companies with immediate effect. The commission said in recent times, it had been inundated with complaints from consumers and industry stakeholders against the promotions offered by the telecommunications operators.
The commission said the ban would remain in force until the commission deemed fit.
The affected telecoms operators include Globacom, MTN Nigeria, Intercellular Limited, Visafone, Etisalat, Airtel Network Limited and Multi-Links Telecoms Limited.
The ban includes “all promotions by telecommunications network operators and lotteries being carried out on such networks”. It covers all proposed and approved promotions and lotteries on which the commission has given approval further to the memorandum of understanding, MoU, entered into with the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
