The board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)
has reassured stakeholders in the telecommunications industry of its commitment
to ensure that the nation’s fourth largest Mobile Network Operator (MNO),
EMTS/9Mobile, is duly taken over by investors with the requisite technical
capability and pedigree to manage the organization, reports ITRealms.
Arising from its board meeting held in Abuja on Thursday,
February 22, 2018, they affirmed determination to avoid the recurrence of any
missteps that may have led to the current situation.
Confirming this to ITRealms in a press statement, the Director, Public Affairs at NCC, Mr. Tony
Ojobo, said the board also made it clear that pursuant to the powers conferred on
the Commission by the provisions of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003 and
other instruments in that regard, the Commission will ensure that all relevant
statutory and regulatory processes are duly complied with in the process
leading up to the emergence of new owners for the company.
The board therefore assured all stakeholders that the
Commission will apply all necessary diligence to see the ongoing sale process
through to its logical conclusion in a manner that protects the overall
national interest and the seamless operation of the national telecommunications
network.
