NCC in the notice said, “the sale, installation, and usage of GSM boosters are illegal.”

In the notice, NCC said it was only exercising its mandate of ensuring the protection of consumers, ensuring good quality of service and maintenance of technical standards of communication equipment, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 131 (1) of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003.

“Such acts may lead to monetary sanction and/or imprisonment, or both (fine & imprisonment) as well as the confiscation of any equipment used in the illegal enhancement of network coverage.”

Brand Spur Nigeria understands that Nigeria is not the only country to place restrictions on the use of Network signal boosters. India, the United States of America, and other countries have some restrictions too.
