Telecoms Regulator Backs Meta’s Plan To Land Undersea Cable in Nigeria

Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (EVC/CEO) of NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, who pledged the support, said such support would be given to law-abiding investors like Meta, (formerly Facebook), which responded positively to Nigeria’s desire for investments that would promote the agenda of government to achieve a robust digital economy.   

Maida, who spoke when he received a delegation of Meta, led by the company’s Vice President for Africa, the Middle-East and Turkey, Kojo Boakye, when they visited NCC’s headquarters in Abuja recently, said the regulatory support to all investors, including operators in Nigeria, would be predicated on their playing by the rules and regulations guiding the sector.
