By Chibuike Nwabuko
Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida has said that the Nassarawa State Right of Way Regulation 2023, which came into effect on the 29th of December, is a huge step in the right direction in creating a healthy environment for the digital economy to thrive.
Maida therefore hailed Governor Abdullahi Sule for providing the leadership that oversaw this crucial regulation being passed in his state;
The NCC Boss hinted that with this audacious enactment, the target set by the federal Ministry of Communication, Innovation and Digital Economy to achieve 75% of our fibre optic cable target—set by the National Broadband Plan—by the end of 2027 has gained further mileage.
Disclosing this on the official X (formerly twitter) account of NCC @ncc.gov.ng, Dr Maida said:
“The Nassarawa State Right of Way Regulation 2023, which came into effect on the 29th of December, 2023 waives Right of Way (RoW) Charges for the installation, placing, laying and/ or maintenance of telecommunication network facilities in the State. It is a huge step in the right direction in creating a healthy environment for the digital economy to thrive.
“With this audacious enactment, the target set by the @FMCIDENigeria, to achieve 75% of our fibre optic cable target—set by the National Broadband Plan—by the end of 2027 has gained further mileage.
“As the @NgComCommission engages more states on the benefits of creating an enabling environment for telecommunications investments, including increased connectivity, economic growth and improved digital services through waiving the RoW charges, we are hoping that other states would toe similar line in easing these charges.
“Our appreciation goes to the Executive Governor of Nassarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi Sule for providing the leadership that oversaw this crucial regulation being passed in his state; as well as the MD/CEO of the Nassarawa State Urban Development Board, Engr. Yahaya Mohammed Wada for the hard-work and commitment of him and his team in bringing it to fruition.
