This is contained in the “Port-Out Activities“ of Mobile Network
Operators’ report, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos
yesterday by the NCC.
According to the report, MTN was the worst hit during the MNP’s

in December 2013 to 3,667 in January 2014.
Airtel Nigeria also lost 1,429 subscribers through the exercise
in January, as against the 1,199 customers it lost in December 2013.
The report said that Globacom lost 978 subscribers in January
2014, after losing 973 of its customers to other networks in December 2013.
Etisalat Nigeria was the least hit by the MNP exercise as 806
customers left its network in January 2014, as against 626 that ported in
December 2013.
A total of 6,880 telecoms users engaged in the porting-out
exercise across the networks in the month of January, compared to the 5,850
customers involved in the activity in December 2013.
However, the report said Etisalat Nigeria enjoyed the exercise
as it led the gainers’ list with an additional 3,007 customers that came on
board its network in January.
Airtel came second on the gainers’ list, as it added 2,319
subscribers to its customer strength.
Also on the third position of the gainers’ list was Globacom
with 1,031 moving into its network, while MTN received only 531 subscribers to
its network.
NAN reports that a total of 6, 888 telecom service customers
participated in the port-in activity in January, as against 6,962 participants
in December 2013.
The exercise was flagged off on April 22, 2013 by the NCC, with
the aim of deepening competition in the industry.
As the exercise progressed, reports had shown that MTN Nigeria
had continued to be worse hit, hence indicating that the service provider
needed to improve on its network.
