Two directors of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Alhassan Haru and Efosa Idehen have been redeployed to man the Technical Standards and Network Integrity (TSNI) and the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (CME) departments of the commission.
 
A statement by Director, Public Affairs, NCC, Reuben Muoka, said it was in a move to further enhance operational efficiency and sustain the commission’s regulatory excellence.
 
In an exercise approved by the Executive Vice Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, other senior staff of NCC were moved to head critical departments, following the recent retirement of some directors, who reached the 60 years of age.
 
Haru, hitherto Director, New Media and Information Security (NMIS), takes over from retiring director Bako Wakil at the TSNI department, which oversees the maintenance of international standards and integrity of the national network, including quality of service (QoS) and equipment type approval.
 
Idehen, who was a former director at CME, takes over from Ephraim Nwokonneya, who has also commenced his retirement leave.

The CME department monitors the industry and enforces compliance with industry rules of engagement, among other redeployed staff. 
   
NCC boss, in the redeployment, charged the new appointees to work in tandem with the Commission’s Strategic Management Plan (SMP) 2020-2024 and NCC’s Strategic Vision Implementation Plan (SVP) 2020-2025.
 
He assured industry stakeholders of the commission’s determination to provide essential regulatory support to consolidate on the growth already recorded in the industry.
 
According to him, the NCC will continue to put round pegs in round holes to sustain its operational efficiency and regulatory excellence.
