The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says the review of subscription by Starlink was done without its approval.
In a statement by Dr. Reuben Muoka, Director of Public Affairs, the NCC stated:
The decision by Starlink to unilaterally review their subscription packages upwards, did not receive the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission.
The action of the company is in contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003, and Starlink’s License Conditions regarding tariffs.
The Commission commenced pre-enforcement action on the licensee on the 3rd of October, 2024.
