NCC raises panel on quality of service in telecoms sector

WORRIED by the general outcry about declining quality of service in the telecommunications sector, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) at the weekend set up a nine-member task force to proffer solutions to the problem.

An initiative of the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC), Prof. Umar Danbatta, the task force was the highlight of his maiden meeting with top management staff on Friday.

The task force has just one term of reference which is “To look at the issue of quality of service in all its ramifications and suggest practical measures that will lead to improvement, and recommend any other measure as appropriate that will project the image of the commission in a good light.”

The Task Force, headed by NCC’s Director of Special Duties, Mrs. Iyabo Sholanke, is expected to submit its reports to the monthly management meeting, beginning from Friday, August 21, 2015, until the expiration of its tenure in six months.
