The Agenda is an articulation of the eight key areas designed by the Management of the Commission as a strategic programmatic plan to consolidate the growth of the telecom sector and set the industry on the path to tap the derivable benefits of the expanding possibilities of the digital economy.
At the heart of this set of programmes is to increase broadband penetration especially to the unserved and underserved areas of Nigeria. Austin Nwaulune, Director Spectrum Administration affirmed this as he spoke in Danbatta's stead today at the NCC Head Office during the formal presentation of the Landing Right Permit to AVANTI for the HYLAS-4 Satellite Space Segment over Nigerian territory.
Danbatta declared that the landing permit which is first of its kind in Satellite Communications in Nigeria, is an authorization that operators required to enable their satellites to beam signals over the territory of Nigeria.
The EVC said he was gratified by the development because having such capacity and facility in place will enable local operators to deploy services via satellite to serve the underserved and unserved areas, and thereby ensure inclusiveness in citizens' engagement with digital transformation.
