NCC To Convene Telecom Stakeholders Forum To Review Competition In Nigeria’s Telecoms Sector
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced plans to convene a Stakeholder Consultative Forum as part of an ongoing assessment of competition in Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.
The forum is scheduled to hold on Tuesday, January 13, 2025, in Lagos and will bring together key industry operators, policymakers and other stakeholders to examine the current state of competition in the fast evolving telecoms sector.
The study, commissioned by the NCC and being conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), aims to provide an independent, evidence based evaluation of the industry. It focuses on market structure, competitive dynamics and the effectiveness of existing regulatory frameworks guiding the telecommunications space.
According to the commission, the consultative forum will provide an opportunity to review preliminary findings from the study, receive stakeholder feedback and refine regulatory approaches designed to promote fair competition, innovation and consumer protection.
The NCC has also called on industry stakeholders and members of the public to submit written contributions ahead of the forum. Submissions are to be sent to competitionstudy2025@ncc.gov.ng.
The commission said the initiative underscores its commitment to creating a healthy and competitive telecommunications environment that encourages investment, enhances service quality and supports the growth of Nigeria’s digital economy.
