NCC Wants Complaints Centres For Electronic Business Deals
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has called on the CBN to establish complaint centres for consumers to ensure quick resolution of issues arising from electronic business transactions.
Mrs Mary Nduma, the Director of Consumer Affairs Bureau in the commission, made the call at the Telecoms Consumer Parliament (TCP) on Friday, in Lagos.
Speaking on the theme of the parliament, “Mobile Payment, the Consumers’ Perspective”, Nduma said that electronic transactions must have windows for quick resolution of issues.
She disclosed that the NCC was collaborating with point-of-sale (PoS) vendors to ensure quality and transparent services.
The director urged the Nigerian business community and traders to study the operations of the PoS vendors and electronic transactions to boost their interaction.
However, Nduma observed that it was necessary to keep the residents of Lagos, especially those at the grassroots, abreast of electronic transactions, to enable them to understand how it affected their businesses.
She assured consumers of the synergy between the CBN and NCC that enabled them to protect their mobile transactions.
Nduma appealed to the CBN to spread its enlightenment campaigns to major markets in the Lagos metropolis as well as the rural areas.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
