Speaking
in audience with the Executive Secretary, West African Telecommunications
Regulatory Assembly (WATRA) Alhaji Maman Laminou, in his office, Danbatta
declared that NCC is working hard to ensure this is achieved within the set
time frame.
“The National Broadband Plan (NBP) will be pursued vigorously and that attaining the 30 per cent minimum coverage by 2018 is possible,” he said.
This
is coming as NCC reiterated support for WATRA in fulfilling its aims and objectives,
stressing that the ECOWAS body is welcome to NCC at all times.
On the
NCC broadband plan, he said, it is intended to cater for everybody including
those in the rural communities, as the Commission counts on leveraging WATRA’s
expertise to actualise the recently unveiled eight-point agenda whose focus is
on the turnaround of the telecommunications sector.
The
EVC further assured WATRA team that the National Broadband Plan (NBP) will be
pursued vigorously and that attaining the 30 per cent minimum coverage by 2018
is possible.
Laminou
on his part, congratulated Danbatta on his appointment as EVC of the NCC and
pledged WATRA’s support, revealing that they are in the process of harmonising
the roaming activities in ECOWAS with guidelines for a seamless interconnection
and roaming of telephone users in West Africa up the stream in preparation.
