Read the interview granted by the Director, Public Affairs of the Nigeria Communications Commission
(NCC), Mr. Tony Ojobo, on the much talked about Mobile
Number Portability (MNP) which will take-off today;
What is MNP?
It is a kind of service that will enable Nigerian telecom consumers
to switch to service providers without necessarily losing their numbers.
In other words, it is a number for life. You have your number and you
can determine the network of choice. If you are dissatisfied with the
service provider or maybe you are not satisfied with the tariff or the
services or the way they attend to you or all of that, this gives you
the opportunity to take a walk away from your service provider to a new
service provider with your number. What that does is to put power in the
hands of the consumer in the sense that the consumer now becomes the
king. You have the power to determine who serves you.
