The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said that the mobile number portability activities by telecommunications operators in Nigeria declined by 53 percent.
The Commission noted that the data, which covers the past two years, shows that the industry recorded a total of 14,491 incoming and outgoing porting activities in November 2018, compared to 31,077 in November 2016
According to the NCC, while the data indicates a 13 percent resurgence between October and November 2018, 9mobile topped the incoming table, gaining 2,608 customers.
It noted that MTN Nigeria added 2,173, while Airtel took the third place with 1,469 and Globacom was in fourth place with 714 added subscribers.
Mobile number portability was introduced by the NCC in 2013 to promote healthy competition among telecom networks and ensure consumer satisfaction.
