Dear Nairalanders, it seems it is 'only' Glo that have the courage to have informed their subscribers about this stoppage of 'all' promotions offered by telecom operators in Nigeria by NCC.
Glo have announced this news across all their social media pages. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/GloWorld, Google+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GloWorld and Twitter https://twitter.com/GlobacomLimited

But, a visit to MTN https://www.facebook.com/MTNLoaded, Etisalat https://www.facebook.com/etisalatng and Airtel https://www.facebook.com/airtelng pages does not have any information at all. What are these thieving MTN, Etisalat and Airtel networks waiting for?

I said it about 2 weeks ago that the NCC was working in conjunction with MTN on that aeroplane promo. Now that the prize winner is about to be revealed, the NCC has tactically surfaced to protect their partner MTN from giving out any such prize. THUNDA FAYA DEM!

MTN must give out that plane because the promo has already been concluded. NCC did not ban prize giving, what they banned are promos. Unluckily for MTN their promo is over, so they can't hide behind the NCC. These people have been scamming Nigerians so much that they've even decided to make it as glaring as possible.

Well, I left their network a few months back, and I didn't die. Those of you who are still being used as maga, I say to you: YELLO FOOLS!

MTN are going ahead to announce the winner of the aeroplane according to their facebook page adverts just now.

Just few minutes before the winner of the MTN Ultimate Wonder AEROPLANE emerges... and we are wondering who the lucky Nigerian will be?

So charge your phones and expect that call cos' it could be you! cheesy

samuelorija218: This will also affect the wow promo by NTN.

To all those whose hope are high on winning the wow aeroplane:... My people will say "owo wogbo or owo jo naa" (money has entered the bush(drain) or money has been burnt).

Hope this our regualtory body will find solution to drop calls, high tarrif, congestation and etc Which are daily occurences of telecoms users in Nigeria.

Lwkmd! 'Congestation'...ℓ☺ℓ

Ban of All Promotions And Lotteries By Telecommunications Operators

PRESS RELEASE

The Commission has, in recent times been inundated with several complaints from consumers, Industry Stakeholders against the various promotions offered by Telecommunications Operators.

Consistent with its processes, the Commission has carefully evaluated the complaints received especially against the backdrop of sustaining the integrity of the networks, the general interest of the consumers, the socio-economic impact of these promotions on Operators and other relevant stakeholders.

The Commission is also mindful of its statutory responsibilities such as; to protect and promote the interest of consumers against unfair practices, promote fair competition in the industry by protecting Operators from misuse of market power and anti-competitive/unfair practices by other Operators.
i. In due regard to the afore-mentioned responsibilities therefore and having observed that these promotions have increased the number of minutes available to subscribers for use within a limited period of time thereby creating congestion in the networks as subscribers try to use up the available minutes within the stipulated time.

ii. That on-net calls were now being offered by Operators at tariffs well below the prevailing inter-connect rates thereby introducing anti-competitive practices and behavior.

iii. That termination of calls were becoming increasingly difficult from one network to another and overall consumer experience on the networks has become very poor thereby making it extremely difficult for subscribers to make calls successfully.

Consequent upon the above-mentioned, the Commission therefore has banned all promotions by Telecommunications Network Operators as well as lotteries being carried out on such networks. This ban 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 (NLRC).

This ban is with immediate effect and shall continue to remain in force until such a time as may be determined by the Commission. The Telecom Operators affected by this include the following:

• GLOBACOM LTD
• MTN
• INTERCELLULAR NIG PLC
• VISAFONE COMMS LTD
• ETISALAT
• AIRTEL NETWORKS LTD
• MULTILINKS TELECOMS LTD

The Commission wishes to assure all Telecommunications consumers of its resolve to ensure that the Quality of Service offered across all networks is such that delivers value to the consumers.

Director, Public Affairs

Re: NCC Bans All Telcos From Promotions And Lotteries by naptu2: 3:19am On Nov 16, 2012
naptu2: @ Eko Hotel @ 5pm on 2nd December, MTN will present the winner of the promo.

There'll also be an international boxing match (think they said for the middle weight world title).

Music stars of the '70s and '80s such as Kool and The Gang, SOS Band and Midnight Starr will perform.

It's a black tie event.

Just heard the advert on radio.
