Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson
gave this indication at the investiture of the latest president of the Nigeria
Computer Society (NCS), Sir Demola Aladekomo in Lagos.
She also said that the document as harmonized would be on
the ministry’s web from January 9, 2011.
“We have concluded the harmonisation of the national ICT
policy and we will put the policy on our website on the 9th of January at
www.commtech.gov.ng for public consultation and input,” she said.
Mrs. Johnson, therefore, encouraged stakeholders to go to
the website on that d-day, look at the policy and ensures it’s in line with
what customers envisaged even as he hope they would use the cost of industry
going forward and make comments.
The ICT policy, mini, she said, would be the
overarching guide of what is to be do in the industry.
“I really believe that with the new policy we will be well
on the way to making the ICT industry what it should be in a country as
large and as diverse and as important as Nigeria,” she said.
As said by her, there are many challenges that are ahead of
the Ministry and knew that the one that most people are most conversant with
both within and without the ICT industry is the cost of quality of service of
telecoms business.
She decried the state of poor quality of service, saying “I
will say it is bad, we all know that it is bad and the operators know that it
is bad.”
Her ministry, Johnson said is working with the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) to ensure that this issue is no longer a
problem.
She maintained that there are many issues the operators were
facing and that the number of base stations and infrastructure that are
available; but her ministry is working hard to ensure that QoS is an issue of
the past.
The NCC, she observed, has published quality of service
indicators and they are enforcing same vigorously and holding the operators
responsible for QoS indicators.
“I have met with a number of those operators and I can
assure you that they are doing all that they can and we will continue to
put them under pressure to ensure that they give out the quality of service
that we deserve for the kind of prices that we pay.
