\n
As the COVID-19, better known as coronavirus, continues to ravage the<\/div>\n
\n
global community, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), as the
\ntelecommunications industry regulator, has put in place measures to
\nsupport initiatives by other stakeholders to curtail this scourge.<\/p>\n

The Commission, in conjunction with industry players and all other
\ngovernment agencies, has agreed to reduce the frequency of physical
\nmeetings all through the period of the coronavirus outbreak and
\nconsidered alternative electronic meeting platforms, in order to reduce
\nperson-to-person contact that may arise from travels or meetings.<\/p>\n

Departments within the Commission that interface with customers have
\ndeveloped e-platforms where all licensing requests, consumer complaints
\nand base transceiver station (BTS) investigation requests could be
\nchanneled or provide designated e-mail addresses to be used for such
\nrequests throughout the pandemic period.<\/p>\n

The Commission has also approved resource sharing by operators
\nthroughout the period of coronavirus. These include fibre optics cables
\nand other resources in the event of cable cuts and other unforeseen
\ndevelopments during the period of coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n

The Commission has also directed Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to
\nensure that their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes are
\nin tandem with government initiatives to curtail the COVID-19 pandemic
\nin order to provide safety and support aid materials that will protect
\nthe public against coronavirus.<\/p>\n

All social and official visits to the Commission have been cancelled
\nimmediately and visitors advised to use relevant online platforms and or
\ntelephone services in accessing the Commission’s services.<\/p>\n

For those who may be affected, the Commission implores them to take
\nadvantage of the Emergency Communications Centres (ECCs) by dialing the
\ntoll-free number 112.<\/p>\n

The NCC supports Right of Passage (RoP) for all telecommunications
\nmembers for easy movement in the event of a total lockdown and or
\nrestriction of movement.<\/p>\n

The regulator is also in support of RoP for suppliers that are involved
\nin supplies of fuels, foods and other support services to telecom
\noperators, to allow for free movement in the event of partial or total
\nlockdown as a result of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The Commission is in touch with Law Enforcement Agencies to constantly
\nprotect telecom infrastructure nationwide. The NCC will come out from
\ntime to time with enlightenment information on the dangers of the virus
\nso that consumers can be guided accordingly.<\/p>\n

Since we are in this together, no effort would be spared to bring this
\ndeadly disease to an end.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
