The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Danbatta, Wednesday sought the support of law
enforcement agencies to put out every assault and criminality undermining
telecommunications operation in Nigeria, reports ITRealms.
Danbatta
spoke through Efosa Idehen, NCC's Head of Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement
who represented him at the South East Zonal Workshop for Law Enforcement Agencies
holding in Enugu.
The workshop was attended by Hosea Karma, AIG Zone 9, who
represented Mr. Ibrahim Idris, the Inspector General of Police; Mohammed
Danmallam, Police Commissioner, Enugu State; Dr. Benito Eze, Commandant NSCDC
Abia State; and many personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State
Services, Nigeria Customs Service, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC).
The Inspector General of Police in his remarks called on all
stakeholders in the security sector to enlist in the partnership solicited by
the NCC because it is noble and also significant considering the strategic role
telecommunication services play in the growth and sustenance of the economy.

Paul Usoro, SAN are among resource persons at the event which featured many
presentations which include: ICT - An Enabler for Effective Policing;
