The Nigeria Communication
Commission (NCC) says it is looking to release a new price for data.
Prof. Umar Danbatta, the
Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, made the disclosure on Thursday during his
induction as a Fellow of the Nigeria Academy of Engineering (NAE).
Danbatta was inducted along with
11 others at the investiture of Prof. Fola Lasisi as the 10th President of the
academy.
He said that the commission had
completed a new framework that would give telecommunication companies the
opportunity to participate in spectrum sharing.
“With the new framework, you can
transfer, lease and share your spectrum.
“These recent achievements of the
commission will ensure optimum utilisation of spectrum,” he said.
The NCC boss told newsmen that
the recognition by NAE would spur the commission to double efforts in boosting
the Nigerian economy.
“This recognition will be a
testimony of our relevance not only within Nigerian universities but across
borders,” he said.
The outgoing President of NAE,
Prof. Oluwaseun Maduka, said that the occasion should remind those in the
academy to ensure advancement of engineering education and practice.
She said that the academy should
be proactive by tackling emerging socio-economic challenges in the country as
regards engineering and technology.
NAE was incorporated as a private
company limited by guarantee in September 1997, for the purpose of promoting
excellence in technological and engineering training and practice to ensure
technological growth and economic development of Nigeria.
