“Meet your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and we will lift the ban” says Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Juwah said with the agreement NCC reached with the operators, the commission had given them enough time to repair and make the necessary investments on their networks.
He said the regulatory body and the service providers agreed that the KPI measurements should be carried out for December 2012 services.
NCC had, late last year, announced the ban of all promotions by telecommunications operators, as well as lotteries being carried out on the networks.
Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Tony Ojobo, had said in a statement that the ban would continue to remain in force until such a time determined by the commission.
Based on the last KPI report, the NCC sanctioned four GSM operators, a cumulative amount of N1.17 billion penalty for poor quality of services in May 2012.
