Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has been hailed over his efforts in revamping the telecoms sector. The Citizens Watch Africa, CWA, commended the EVC for introducing reforms to boost stakeholder confidence and attract more investments in critical telecoms infrastructure.

The group, at a media briefing on Tuesday, pointed out that promoting transparency and accountability in the operations of the NCC is crucial for the growth and development of the communication sector in Nigeria, adding that it was good to see that Maida is focused on these important aspects. Convener of the group, Pastor Dave Ogbole, said that there has been a renewed drive to promote transparency and accountability by the NCC leadership led by Maida .

It is highly dedicated and committed to delivering on its key mandate. The new drive at the NCC has led to a steady increase in active voice and internet subscriptions, including a drop in teledensity. “It is instructive to state that the nation’s teledensity dropped from 115.63% to 102.30% in September. Broadband penetration dropped from 45.47% to 40.85% in the same month. The active voice subscription statistics witnessed a marginal growth from 220,715,961 to 221,769,883 as of September 2023.
