Ben Bruce wrote, “I commend President Bola Tinubu, @officialABAT, for personally intervening in the misunderstanding between MTN and Glo and reaching a win-win resolution. A détente that is good for Nigeria and our telecommunications sector, as well as the leading corporations in that industry. This is the fruit of having a business-minded leader in Aso Rock.

“Of particular note is the twenty one days grace period given to both parties. With this mindset, the ease of doing business in Nigeria is improved. Our economy will benefit more from cooperation than from confrontation, and I am glad that with this Nigeria-first initiative, we are moving from the battleground to common ground. Congratulations to @GloWorld and @MTNNG, and we are looking forward to better interconnectivity between the two behemoths.”

Ireporteronline had earlier reported that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) suspended plans to ban Globacom subscribers from calling MTN lines over the non-payment of interconnect charges.
