Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has congratulated the Chairman-designate of the Commission’s Board, Idris Olorunnimbe, alongside other distinguished designate-Board members, as well as the designate-members of the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF) Board, on their appointment by President Bola Tinubu.

This leadership team, as constituted by the President, comprises highly esteemed individuals with impressive track records. Their collective expertise is expected to steer the communications industry in the right direction, providing the impetus to further transform Nigeria’s digital economy.

In a statement yesterday, signed by the NCC Executive Vice Chairman, Dr Aminu Maida, the commission said the appointees would bring to bear their wealth of knowledge, strategic insight, and strong governance to enhance the regulatory work of the commission.

ALSO, the commission has reiterated its commitment to the full operationalisation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Executive Order on Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII), which designates telecommunications facilities as critical national assets deserving optimal protection.

This comes on the heels of a successful mediation led by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), in collaboration with the commission, which resulted in the suspension of a planned strike by the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria (NOGASA).
