Communications Commission has approved the renewal of its first 800MHz spectrum band license (Channel 1) for an additional 10 years.
In a corporate notice filed on the Nigeria Exchange Limited on Tuesday, the renewal will be effective from January 1 and will run until 31 December 2034.
In addition, the NCC has approved the extension of MTN Nigeria’s second 800MHz spectrum band license (Channel 2), which was set to expire on 31 December 2030.
The extension adds four years to its tenure, aligning its expiration date with Channel 1 on December 31, 2034.
