Nigeria’s telecoms industry regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says that it will prioritize customer protection while regulating Nigeria’s digital space.
Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, made this known on Wednesday, at the ongoing Nigerian Fintech Week in Lagos.
“The digital economy is taking shape and changing conventional notions about how businesses are designed; how firms network; and how consumers obtain services, information, and goods. It is in recognition of the impacts of the digital economy that Nigeria developed its guiding Policy and Strategy document known as the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS) and the NCC has positioned itself to ensure full implementation of its responsibilities as communicated in the NDEPS.”
“It is therefore imperative to note that NCC, being the regulator of the communications sector, is responsible for ensuring that regulation is innovative, technology-neutral, competitively neutral, protects the consumers, and meets the needs of the robust operating environment that the digital economy has created,” he said.
The forum which was convened with the theme: ‘Navigating the Next Normal-Sustainable Impacts in FinTech, e-Government and Emerging Technologies.’ brought together, stakeholders in the FinTech sector.
