Telecommunications operators in Nigeria have beckoned on the Minister of Communications, Dr. Isa Ali Pantami, to rescue the sector, especially against the challenges threatening the growth of the industry.
The body also stressed that there is no gainsaying that Information Communication Technology also has a direct impact on the performance of government at all levels. According to ALTON, despite the milestones, it is of great concern to stakeholders that the ICT sector is still operating below its potential, as it is faced with fundamental challenges militating against network enhancement and development as well as inadequate infrastructure to support broadband roll out.
The operators stated that without adequate infrastructure, the provision of qualitative telecommunications services cannot be guaranteed and urged the minister to use his good office to liaise with the FCDA to identify suitable locations for new sites build by our members to ensure the provision of qualitative telecoms service in FCT and environs.
ALTON said the industry is also burdened with enactment of laws at the state government levels to legitimate spurious levies and charges on members, which negates the ease of doing business in Nigeria.
