The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has reaffirmed its commitment to fully leverage its mandate to deliver broadband access to underserved communities.
NCC said this is central to the Federal Government’s broader efforts of improving access to the opportunities that robust connectivity can unlock.
This position was reiterated during a courtesy visit by the Executive Commissioner, Stakeholder Management, NCC, Rimini Makama, to the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, at the Government House, Rayfield, Jos, Plateau State, a statement by NCC said yesterday.
During the visit, the Commission described Plateau State as a strategic and indispensable partner in the advancement of Nigeria’s national broadband agenda, citing the State’s strong educational base, growing innovation ecosystem, youthful population, and policy direction that supports digital transformation.
Ms. Makama said, “The NCC has identified Plateau State as a pivotal partner in Nigeria’s broadband agenda; not ceremonially, but strategically. You have the educational institutions, the growing innovation ecosystem at nHub and beyond, the youth talent, and now a Governor whose public commitments; from the Right of Way policy to the TechFest declaration, signal the political will that digital infrastructure demands.”
