The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority(NCAA) shuts down a base station operated by telecommunications provider Globacom in Wuse 2 Abuja over a debt of N5bn.
NCCA DG, Capt. Musa Nuhu led a team of security operatives to the Glo center for the enforcement.
Nuhu said the agency would continue to disable Glo’s main switch centers across the country until the telecom company commits to a paying schedule.
NCCA’s spokesman, Sam Adurogboye, confirmed the development to Punch newspaper.
“One of Glo’s coordinating centers was disabled today to pressure the company to commit to a payment plan; he told our correspondent.
The NCAA spokesman said the Agency has repeatedly written to Globacom over the matter, but the said network refused to honor invitations to meetings.
In the latest follow up letter obtained by the punch dated October 4th, 2021 and titled ‘Re: Illegal Erection of High Structures and Refusals to Renew Expired Aviation Height Clearance Certified By Globacom Limited,’ NCAA had threatened that following the failure by Globacom to pay the required fees amounting to N5.9 billion, it would have no choice but to commence the dismantling of its mast across the country without further notice.
