President, National
\nAssociation of Telecommunications Subscribers (NATCOMS), Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo, has urged the Federal Government to enact a law that would protect installations in the sector against willful destruction.
\nOgunbanjo told newsmen in Lagos last Wednesday that such a law would enhance service delivery to subscribers and give them value for their money.
\nHe said that each time the operators experienced sabotage to their facilities, subscribers were always at the receiving end.
\n\u201cOver the years, telecommunication companies have been contending with the challenge of accidental damage to their infrastructure, especially in violence-prone areas and construction sites.
\n\u201cThe frequent damage to the infrastructure, most times, is responsible for the poor services being rendered to the subscribers,\u201d he said.
\nOgunbanjo also appealed to community leaders and Nigerians to assist the operators to protect telecommunications\u2019 facilities, to avoid disruption of service.
\nThe Tide reports that telecommunications\u2019 operators had on many occasions complained of frequent damage to their installations, especially in areas where there were crises.
\nThe operators said that they bore the cost of repairing the damaged facilities because there was no law enacted to protect them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
