The Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) are collaborating to review the 2000 Telecoms Policy.
This comes as the Commission plans quarterly disclosure of information on the quality performance of the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).
The NCC Executive Vice Chairman (EVC), Aminu Maida, made the disclosure at a media engagement yesterday, in Abuja, where he stated that the process of reviewing the policy had commenced.
“Since the National Telecom Policy 2000, you will be pleased to know that we have started engagements with the ministry to revise the telecom policy, because as per the act, the NCA 2003, we are to guide and provide input to the National Telecoms policy. But it’s driven by the ministry.
“That process has started and that was also contained in the Honorable Minister AbudzunTidjani’s strategic blueprint, which he released early when he assumed office. “So, we need to let Nigerians know all our operators who is first, second, and third.”
