Smile Telecoms Holdings
Limited has given a toast to the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta and the entire staff of the
commission on winning the African Regulator of the year ward 2015, recently,
reports ITRealms.
In a letter signed by
its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Irene Charnley, the operator also commended
the leadership of the NCC’s chief, which has continued to win more accolades
and laurels for the nation.
“We recognize this ward
as a testimony to the hard work, innovation and leadership of the NCC in
driving the growth of telecommunications and, in particular, broadband in
Nigeria under your able stewardship,” the letter noted.
Special Assistant on
Media to EVC, Yakubu Musa quoted Charnley as noting that available statistics and evidence from Smiles
own operations in Nigeria, convinced the telco that under your leadership, the
NCC will continue to win accolades and that indeed, Nigeria and Africa will
benefit from the innovative interventions the commission continues to introduce.
“It is our expectation
that this award will spur the NCC on to become even more innovative in its efforts
to ensure that Nigeria meets the targets it set for itself in the Nigerian
National Broadband Plan,” the letter further noted.
The commission carted
away the award at African Information Technology and Telecoms Awards (AITTA)
recently in Ghana, and less than 14 days later, it added the European
Award for Best Practices 2016 to its collection.
The award ceremony which held in Brussels,
Belgium was hosted by the European Society for Quality Research (ESQR), an
affiliate of the European Union (EU).
“No fewer than 63 countries participated in the
award ceremony out of which the NCC won the European Award for Best Practices
2016. The award which is the Gold category is “in recognition of its
outstanding commitment, support and results in quality management strategies.”
