Association
of the Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) in a communiqué at the end
of its Annual General Meeting 2015 pledged to lobby for a better regulation in
the sector, ITRealms reports.
ATCON
President, Mr. Lanre Ajayi, while reading out the communiqué, told ITRealms that the fear of an environment
of a weak legal framework necessitated its members to call for stronger
regulatory policies that would protect and prioritize the survival of local
investors at the same time not excluding foreign investors.
“We called
for strengthening of a stronger regulatory environment because there are
certain things that could be done better and to achieve that we have formed a
strategic section of committees which would access and scrutinize these issues
to certain rigors, which would be articulated and documented and we believe it’s
not going to be flawed when presented to the government,” he said.
ITRealms also learnt that the Association
intends to sit again with the appointed committees to finalize and document their
reports for immediate presentation to the relevant authorities.
Equally ITRealms gathered that ATCON within the
period of June 2014 to April 2015 has established laudable projects like the establishment
of a training department at its secretariat, joined hands to host an
International workshop on IPv6 2014, as well as organized the Telecoms Executive
and Regulators forum 2014.
