The newly constituted Board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has reaffirmed its commitment to driving Nigeria’s digital economy growth. This was emphasized at the Board’s induction retreat held in Uyo last week, chaired by Chief Idris Olorunnimbe.
The retreat, which featured distinguished experts, provided a platform for the Board to deliberate on the Commission’s strategic focus and critical role in Nigeria’s digital economy. The facilitators included Mrs. Yetunde Akinloye, who reviewed the Nigerian Communications Act (2003); Paul Usoro, SAN, who shared insights on effective board governance; Prof. Nwana Professor Hyacinth Nwana, who discussed the role of regulators in the future; and Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, SAN, OFR, who emphasized core corporate governance principles.
The sessions were designed to strengthen governance, regulatory credibility, and outcome-focused initiatives that benefit consumers, industry, and Nigeria’s digital economy. With a renewed focus on strategic objectives, the NCC is poised to drive growth and development in the country’s digital landscape.
The Board’s commitment to good governance and regulatory excellence is expected to have a positive impact on the industry, fostering innovation, investment, and economic growth.
