The commission’s public affairs director, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde says the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has initiated a process for the review of existing licensing structure in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
The commission said that the move was in demonstration of its responsiveness to global trends and the new dynamics in the Information and Communications Technology ecosystem.
In a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Adinde said that the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) Prof. Umar Danbatta, had already inaugurated an in-house Standing Committee to carry out the task towards achieving the set goals.
Danbatta, while inaugurating the committee, stated the need for the review as being informed by the wide range of technological advances and the convergence of technologies and services, which have characterized the global telecoms space over the years and whose impact was increasingly being felt in Nigeria.
