The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, has outlined the Commission’s strategic focus for 2025 during a virtual stakeholders’ forum held on December 20, 2024. The session, which centered on the draft Application-to-Person (A2P) Licensing Framework, provided a platform for unveiling key initiatives aimed at enhancing the telecommunications sector.
In his address, Dr. Maida emphasized the NCC’s commitment to transparency and improving service delivery, reinforcing the Commission’s role as a catalyst for industry growth. He announced the introduction of coverage maps generated from crowd-sourced data, a move designed to empower consumers with reliable information on the performance of mobile network operators in their localities. This initiative is expected to drive competition and enhance user experience across the country.
Dr. Maida also highlighted the NCC’s continued efforts in consumer protection, fraud prevention, and fostering a level playing field for operators. These priorities are integral to the Commission’s broader strategy of ensuring a resilient and sustainable telecommunications ecosystem in Nigeria.
The forum attracted a diverse array of industry stakeholders, who engaged with the NCC’s forward-looking agenda, reaffirming the Commission’s dedication to driving innovation and ensuring regulatory excellence in the telecommunications landscape.
As the industry anticipates the rollout of these initiatives, the NCC’s strategic direction for 2025 underscored its commitment to advancing Nigeria’s digital transformation and strengthening its position as a leader in the African telecommunications sector.
