Posted by The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says it will commence the demolition of telecommunication masts of Globacom Nigeria Limited and others in different locations within Nigeria immediately.
A statement by the NCAA says a warning had been earlier issued to all telecomm operators against violation of safety regulations and handed them a 30-day ultimatum. Prior to the expiration of the ultimatum, letters of reminder were written to all affected organisations to obtain Aviation Height Clearance (AHC) for their masts.
The affected masts to be removed are as follows:
- Globacom Nigeria: 7,012 masts,

This brings the total number of masts to be demolished to 8,805.
