NCC vows to improve on its 2024 achievements in 2025
Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice Chairman (CEO/EVC) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Aminu Maida, has assured that the Commission will work on improving its 2024 achievements during the new year.
The EVC said that the regulatory body will provide coverage maps from crowd-sourced data that will show the performance of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).
This was contained in a series of tweets from the official X handle of the Minister of Communications, Innovations, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, on Thursday.
Maida stated that the aim of providing the coverage map is to enable users of mobile networks to ascertain the most efficient network in their coverage area.
According to him, the NCC will focus on building its transparency, which will foster a more robust and healthier competition in the industry.
“2025, I’m really optimistic. We are going to build on the small gains we made in 2024.
“Now that we have laid some of the necessary foundations, we are going to see a lot more transparency to help drive competition and service delivery amongst operators.
“Lastly, we are also going to be providing coverage maps towards the end of the year, from crowd-sourced data.
“This is not going to be simulated data. It is going to be actual performance data, which will show you what is the best network in your area.
“No longer will you need to ask the man or woman nearest to you. You can actually come to the NCC’s website and look at the data for yourself,” Maida stated.
DAILY POST reports that one of the key milestones of the Commission in 2024 was the implementation and completion of the Federal Government policy on the NIN-SIM linkage.
Equally, the designation of its infrastructure as Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) through a Presidential Order issued on November 6, last year.
