Senior officers
from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) are attending a workshop on
Satellite Communications Regulations taking place at the headquarters of the
Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) in London on 18 - 22 April
2016.
A forward-looking
national communications regulatory framework is essential for delivering the
benefits of broadband technology to the people of Nigeria, and so NCC
requested the CTO to organise the workshop to enable NCC officers to better
regulate the provision of satellites services in their country.
Engr Ubale Maska, Executive
Commissioner, Technical Services at the NCC said: “It is the role of
regulators, such as the NCC, to encourage the deployment of all types of
technologies for the growth of a robust ICT infrastructure. We thank the CTO
for organising this workshop to better enable NCC regulate access to
satellites and so grow access to broadband for Nigerian citizens and
businesses.”
Mr Shola Taylor,
Secretary-General of the CTO, who moderated the workshop said: “The CTO is
committed to promoting enabling regulatory environments for ICTs across the
Commonwealth. We are pleased to have the opportunity to assist our Nigerian
colleagues in their role in regulating satellite communications in Nigeria
and look forward to working with them further on this in the future.”
