The Nigerian Communications Commission is the regulator of telecommunications services in Nigeria. In its commitment to continually engage stakeholders at all levels, the Study Tour programme is designed to enhance students’ learning by providing the opportunities for students to participate in non-curriculum activities outside the normal school routine. This involves travel for activities including NCC Museum Visit, NCC Server Room Visit, and listening to Presentations from relevant departments.
Purpose of the Study Tour Visits
The objective of this activity is to increase awareness of participant to NCC activities as it applies to the area of study of the participants. The visits are expected to meet educational or learning objectives of the participants as communicated during application process. It is also intended to broaden students’ horizons through interaction with members of staff of the Commission and to enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the telecommunications industry. The programme is also intended to give students an opportunity to relate their classroom learning to the real world situations.
The visits are expected to meet educational or learning objectives of the participants. Such objectives (e.g. about the telecommunications industry and its regulation) will be confirmed by the participants.
