The Nigerian Communications Commission is the Independent National Regulatory Authority for the communications sector in Nigeria. The Commission is responsible for creating an enabling environment for competition among operators in the industry as well as ensuring the provision of qualitative and efficient telecommunications services throughout the country.
Nigeria, through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has won the 2025 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) prize for its project, the Digital Awareness Programme (DAP), under Category C3, which is on Access to Information and Knowledge.
Quality of Experience (QoE) is a critical measure of how users perceive and interact with telecommunications services. It goes beyond technical performance metrics to capture the real-world satisfaction of consumers when using voice, data and digital services.
The Telecom Value Chain is made up of several interconnected components, each playing a vital role in delivering services to the end-user. These components or building blocks collectively determine the quality of service and, ultimately, the user’s experience.
