LAGOS – French phone brand, Wiko Mobile, on Thursday affirmed that its range of 11 phones launched in the Nigerian market are certified by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and by international regulators.
This is contained in a statement made available to newsmen by the Wiko Mobile Channel Marketing Manager, Mr Adebayo Abodunde Adams.
Abodunde said NCC granted “Type Approval’’ for Wiko’s various ranges of phone to operate as terminal equipment in the Nigerian telecommunication network.
He said the approvals for the phones were signed since September 2014 by Mr Haru Alhassan, NCC Director, Technical Standards and Network Integrity on behalf of the NCC Executive Vice-Chairman.
The official said that the approval was granted before the formal introduction of the phones into the Nigerian market a month later.
Abodunde said that the Wiko products approved by NCC include Highway, Highways-Signs, Bloom, Rainbow, Lenny, Goa, Sunset, Riff, Luib3, Kar3 and Fizz.
