The Executive Chairman, Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, has said the commission will foster growth in the telecoms industry by focusing on collaboration, compliance, data and quality of experience.
\nAminu, who stated this during a special engagement with the media recently in Lagos, said the focus was to discuss his vision and strategy after spending 100 days in office.
\nThe NCC boss noted that it was very vital to collaborate with stakeholders, who ranged from government agencies to the media, telecoms operators and consumers.
\nMaida also said the commission would focus more on being data centric, as the world was in a digital age.
\nHe noted that as a regulator of the telecoms industry, it was necessary to leverage data to make informed decisions.
\n\u201cWe will be driving the collection of a lot of data from our stakeholders to project the work that we are doing, so that we can have a high level of transparency and accountability.
\n\u201cCompliance is another driver we need to focus on. As a regulator that is\u00a0 empowered by the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003, we have the power to hold our licensees to their obligations\u201d, he said.
\nOn stakeholders, the NCC boss revealed that the commission would be focusing on three major stakeholders: the telecoms consumers, the industry itself, and the government.
\nHe added\u00a0 that the commission would be focusing on the needs of each of these stakeholders, adding that it knew consumers, for example, are looking for total Quality of Experience (QoE).
\nThe NCC boss said the commission would\u00a0 be driving QoE right from the point of how they find and select telecoms services.
\n\u201cWe are also going to be working with our licensees on data tariff, speed and coverage. We are going to be working with our licensees to see how tariff can be simpler and more transparent,\u201d he said.
\nHe added further that the commission would also continue to enlighten consumers to understand the habits that drive greater data usage.<\/p>\n
