NCC directors bag NIEEE Fellowship
The Federal Government has been told to uphold the protection ratio of Digital Video Broadcasting second generation terrestrial (DVB-T2) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks for a flawless co-existence.
   
Executive Director, Engineering, Nigerian Television Authority, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Stephen Okpanachi Moses, made the call in Abuja as the guest speaker at the eight fellowship conferment and award ceremony of the Nigerian Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (NIEEE), which was held virtually and physically.
  
He explained that there are areas of growing interests in the use of the spectrum and studies of the interference of the two services are required as previous studies failed to explore Nigeria’s case.

The National Chairman of the Institute, Kings Adeyemi, an engineer, saluted the contributions of the founding fathers of NIEEE, the past chairmen at national and chapter levels.
 
A total of 24 distinguished members were conferred with fellowships, while some partners of the institute were also recognised for awards.
