According to the NCC, the two companies - Ken Xin Da Mobile and G-Tide Mobile - were sealed because “they did not conform to the ‘Type Approval’ standards as mandated by the Commission before bringing their devices into Nigeria.”
NCC is empowered by the Nigerian Communications Act 2003 to establish and enforce standards for all telecommunications equipment in operation in the country, in order to ensure that they operate seamlessly and safely within the Nigerian telecommunications environment.
“All equipment manufacturers, vendors and operators, including customer devices such as mobile phones and wireless adapters, must therefore ensure that their equipment conform to the applicable standards as mandated by the Commission before bringing them into Nigeria.
“To ensure maximum interoperability and affordability for consumers, the Type Approval standards set by the NCC are based on international standards, which represent international practices as developed in many countries,” the commission said.
