The Nigerian Communications Commission has officially commenced a two-day Stakeholders’ Policy Review Workshop in Lagos. This strategic gathering brings together key industry players, government officials, regulators, and technology experts to critically examine and update the National Telecommunications Policy of 2000, which has served as the foundation for Nigeria’s telecom sector for over two decades.

Participants at the workshop are engaging in comprehensive discussions aimed at realigning the country’s telecommunications framework with current global standards and emerging technological advancements.

The review seeks to address rapid changes in the digital space, including advancements in 5G technology, artificial intelligence, data protection, broadband expansion, and digital inclusion.

By reassessing the existing policy, the NCC aims to create a more robust, forward-looking framework that will strengthen Nigeria’s digital economy and position the nation competitively on the global stage.

This initiative reflects the Commission’s commitment to fostering innovation, improving service delivery, and ensuring that Nigeria’s telecommunications sector remains responsive to the evolving needs of businesses and citizens in the digital age.

Outcomes from the workshop are expected to shape future policies that will drive sustainable growth and technological transformation across the country.
