Over 50,000 cases of major destruction to telecoms infrastructure and facilities have been reported across the country in the past five years, raising alarm over the implication of these incidents to the quality of telecommunications services in Nigeria. Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission , Prof.
Danbatta, in statement on Friday, spoke through the Head, Corporate Communications Unit of the Commission, Mrs. Nnena Ukoha, said the negative impacts of incessant vandalism of telecoms equipment, evidenced in fibre cuts, theft of telecoms facilities like generators at sites, vandalism of base stations, among other vices, have become a major burden on the service providers, while telecoms consumers have continued to suffer unwarranted disruptions of their hard-earned services.
The NCC‘s Chief Executive Officer said that, considering the well-known fact that the ability to connect and communicate is fundamental to human existence, improvement in businesses processes, government services, education, as well as social and family networking through seamless connections, every community should get involved in protecting the critical infrastructure that makes these services possible.
Channel your alarm to the right source and stop making noise to us, there is hunger in the land. If Buhari government has been on-top of their game as they promised us will Telecom infrastructure suffer such loss in 5yrs?
