The Nigerian Communications Commission says it will soon eliminate the use of substandard mobile devices in the country.
According to him, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, while addressing participants at the event said the programme was part of the commission’s deliberate move to educate and create awareness on the hazardous health effects and negative economic implications of the patronage of fake handsets.
“And the benefits of using such equipment which includes better quality of service , network integrity and safety of the end-users.”Danbatta who frowned at the proliferation of counterfeit handsets in the country said the menace of counterfeit and substandard handsets has assumed a global dimension. “Cases of influx and patronage of counterfeit handsets are more rampant in developing countries, such as Nigeria where importers bring in substandard phones.
As such, all equipment manufacturers, vendors and operators, including customer devices such as mobile phones and wireless adapters, must, therefore, ensure that their equipment conforms to the applicable standards as mandated by the commission before bringing them into Nigeria. According to him, the commission has developed regulations on electronic waste as another regulatory instrument.
