Africa Free Trade Area: NCC moves to boost telecom industry investment

NCC Executive Vice Chairman, Prof. Umar Danbatta, spoke on Wednesday in Lagos during the Stakeholders’ Sensitisation Workshop on the Implications of the AfCFTA for Nigeria’s Communications Industry.

”The Federal Government’s aspirations to advance Nigeria’s economic development through continuous encouragement of pro-trade, pro-business, pro-investment and pro-export measures are in sync with the mandate of the NCC. Danbatta said that the workshop would draw attention of industry stakeholders to the need to fully appreciate the business implications of AfCFTA.

He said that through its direct contribution to the GDP and its indirect contribution to the performance of other sectors, the telecommunication sector remained a facilitator of economic development.
