The Nigerian Communications Commission has underscored the vital role of the media in shaping the national narrative around telecommunications through accurate, data-driven reporting, reports ITREALMS.
She noted that the Commission remains deeply committed to accountability and transparency, which necessitates the generation of timely and precise data to guide public understanding and national conversations.
Mrs. Ukoha stated that the primary objective of the engagement was to deepen the media’s understanding of the NCC’s quarterly performance data and to provide the necessary context to prevent misinterpretation.
By equipping media partners with practical insights, the Commission aims to enhance the quality of information reaching the Nigerian public and global stakeholders.
She urged journalists to adopt what she termed as constructive framing in their reporting, which involves presenting a balanced view of the industry.
This approach, she explained, does not mean ignoring sectoral challenges but rather highlighting progress and innovations alongside those hurdles to reflect the true resilience of the industry.
The Head of Public Affairs highlighted that the quarterly performance reports serve as a rich resource for newsrooms, providing material for daily coverage, investigative reports, and sector monitoring dashboards.
She reminded the gathered press that their reporting directly influences investor confidence, consumer trust, and policy direction in a sector that powers the daily lives of millions of Nigerians.
Closing her remarks, Mrs. Ukoha expressed gratitude for the continued professionalism of the media and reaffirmed the NCC’s spirit of collaboration in sharing the industry's challenges, victories, and future prospects through transparent engagement.
