The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Wednesday urged telecommunication companies to adopt a modern and more energy-efficient network to reduce carbon emissions emanating from the sector.
NCC disclosed this during its 2023 World Consumer Right event tagged “Empowering consumers through clean energy transition”, held at the NCC’s Communications and Digital Economy Complex, Abuja.
Speaking at the event, the Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Umar Danbatta, said with the recent licensing of the fifth generation (5G) spectrum, the country will witness an improvement in the deployment of telecom infrastructure to satisfy the wireless service coverage requirement for 5G services.
