The flag-off came as NCC unveiled two Nigerian Artistes,
Helen Paul aka Tatafo and Ali Nuhu as the Telecom Consumer brand ambassadors.
Welcoming guest to the occasion, held at De Blue Roof at
Agidingbi-Lagos, the Executive Commissioner Stakeholder Management at NCC, Mr.
Sunday Dare, noted that the Abuja leg was unveiled on March 15 at the Commission’s
headquarters, Abuja.
Describing the occasion as significant, Mr. Dare pointed out
that this was because NCC singled out the consumer and dedicated a year of
activities towards safeguarding the rights, protecting the interests and
empowering the consumer to make informed decisions.
“It was for us at NCC a day of great significance, just as
today is also,” he said.
Dare further said that the consumer is one of the key
stakeholders in the stakeholder ladder of the NCC.
“With a base of over 154 million subscribers, the Nigerian
consumers dominate the African telecommunications landscape,” he declared.
For the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Garba
Danbatta, relaunching of NCC 2017 Year of the Nigerian Telecom Consumer in
Lagos, was to emphasise the position of Lagos State as the telecommunications
hub of Nigeria.
He buttressed this by quoted
the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics in its first quarter
telecommunications sector report for 2016 placed Lagos voice subscriber base at
19.04 million or 12.8 per cent of the country’s subscribers and 12.62 million
internet subscription or 13.65 per cent.
“The state is home to many of the key players in the
telecommunications sector so it is understandable that is has been selected as
the flag off city after the major event in Abuja on March 15 2017,” he said.
The NCC 2017 Year of the Nigerian Telecom Consumer, he told ITRealms, is remarkable because it is
center stage.
“We must also remember that these consumers together have
made all the success stories we speak about possible in the telecom industry
today,” he said.
Danbatta pointed out that the Year 2017 is dedicated to the
Nigerian Telecom Consumer following a management decision that compels NCC to
seek to amplify the year’s activities towards ensuring that the consumer enjoys
a customer experience that is enhanced and consistent in time and quality.
In 2017, and even beyond, Danbatta assured that the Consumer
will remain the focus of NCC, revealing that the Commission intends to inform
and educate the consumer with the sole intent of protecting and empowering them
to make the right decisions.
The EVC later unveiled the 2017 Year of Telecom Consumer
brand ambassadors, Helen Paul, aka Tatafo and Ali Nuhu, also known as the emir
of Kannywood.
Both ambassadors promised to do their best in carrying the
focus of the 2017 Year of Telecom Consumer, which will be delivered in multiple
local languages across Nigeria.
