Apparently worried by the increase in cybercrime and the abuse of the internet space in the country, the Nigerian Communications Commission has said that it planning to introduce what it describes as Internet Industry Code of Practice.
Danbatta, who was represented at the event by the Deputy Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau, Alhaji Ismail Adedigba, said: “Realising that liberalisation of the telecoms industry has led to an unprecedented increase in the usage and dependence on internet-based solutions and services, the Nigerian Communication Commission has initiated a process to establish an Internet Industry Code of Practice for Internet Service providers in the country.
“Let me emphasise at this juncture that while the regulatory intervention and other initiatives are ongoing to sanitise Internet space, telecoms consumers must play their role,” he said.
