The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has urged telecommunications companies in the country to adopt a communal approach to infrastructure. He noted that this approach would diminish operational expenditures.
NCC made the call in the wake of declarations by the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria, ALTON, and the Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria, ATCON, advocating for a cost-reflective pricing structure after a span of eleven years. The Executive Vice-Chairman of the NCC , Aminu Maida , said this during the second instalment of the West African Telecoms Infrastructure Summit and Exhibition, held in Lagos.
“Presently, we can proudly claim over 219 million mobile subscribers and an expanding population adept in technology, keen to exploit digital innovations,' he said. 'Nonetheless, our significant growth has been accompanied by challenges. Disparities in service provision, infrastructural shortfalls, and occasional regulatory ambiguities have impeded our advancement. 'Each obstacle, however, has also unveiled prospects for development and ingenuity.
