Nigeria Communication Commission(NCC)

June 23,2012
We can’t talk about GSM operators in Nigeria or the Telecommunication industry without referring to to the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC).NCC was established in 1992 and was saddled with the responsibility of regulating the Telecommunication industry. It is a truism that since the establishment of the commission, different phases of advancement in Telecommunication industry has been witnessed. Over the years the commission has earned a reputation as the foremost Telecom regulatory agency in Africa.

The confidence of consumers in the GSM market was boosted again recently when the Commission sanctioned the four major GSM operators in Nigeria ( MTN,Airtel,Globacom and Etisalat) for poor service delivery to the tune of N1.17 billion.It just an indication that the commission is living up to expectation and also a call for the GSM operators to refrain from exploiting the unassuming Nigeria populace.
