GLO Likely To Face NCA Sanctions

The National Communications Authority (NCA) is undecided on whether to sanction or withdraw the license of Globacom Ghana if it fails to meet a deadline to launch its commercial operations. The Nigerian based telecom giant received the licence to operate in Ghana in 2008. It has since been unable to launch commercial activity in the country after a number of announcements to do so. The NCA issued a Mid-April ultimatum to GLO Ghana to launch or face sanctions ranging from penalty fines to complete withdrawal of licence. The Deputy Director in charge of Communications and Consumer Services at the NCA, Mawuko Zomelo in an interview with XYZ BUSINESS stated that the Authority will not hesitate to apply the necessary sanctions if the company fails to launch by the deadline.
