The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has called upon stakeholders in the telecom industry to provide valuable input in developing regulatory frameworks for the industry.
During a 2-day public inquiry into three subsidiary regulations, Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, emphasized the importance of contributions and feedback from participants in shaping a path that benefits everyone.
The NCC is dedicated to promoting an efficient, accessible, and competitive telecom industry, and the public inquiry demonstrates its commitment to transparency and inclusivity.
The regulatory instruments under review, including Telecommunications Networks Interconnect Regulations and Guidelines on Procedure for Granting Approval to Disconnect Telecommunications Operators, are essential for ensuring that the communications sector meets the demands of the ever-evolving digital age.
This review is crucial to keeping pace with technological advancements, fostering competition, protecting consumer interests, aligning with international standards, and improving regulatory efficiency in the industry.
