The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Friday urged telecom companies to reciprocate the reduction in the Right of Way by making data prices more affordable to Nigerians.
Prof Danbatta explained that considering steps taken by the present administration to reduce the charges of RoW below N145 per linear metre, while some states waved the charges out rightly, it had become necessary for operators to reciprocate the gesture. He said the event with the theme: “Impact of COVID-19 on Telecoms Service Delivery” was organised, taking into consideration, the dynamics of the global pandemic and the directives from the Federal Government on social distancing and other measures put in place to curb the spread of Coronavirus pandemic.
“Despite the pandemic and the lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19 virus, we on our part have also not relented to ensure that the quality of telecom services is sustained during and post COVID–19 period,” Prof Danbatta asserted.
