Sanctions are to help telecoms
operators in becoming more
productive, former NCC board
chairman Mr Oluwale Ige has said.
He said sanctions and fines in the
industry will help telecoms
operators to be more responsive
and pro-active in providing
service.
Ige who is a former Chairman of
the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC) Board, said in
Abuja that the essence of
sanctions was to put operators
on their toes in the area of
quality service delivery and also
to assure them that the
commission was watching closely
their activities.
Ige said the sanctions should not
be seen as punishment, but as a
tool to tackle low level of
productivity in the telecoms
industry. ``It depends on your
definition of sanctions. If you look
at sanctions as punishment, you
will sit up. Sanction is a stepping
stone for telecoms operators to
re-examine their operations. It is
not punishment, but something to
ginger them up to be pro-active
and to be more positive beyond
their environment,’’ he said.
Ige also pointed out that
telecoms operators do not
operate in isolation, and there
was the need for compliance
adding that the reason for
introducing Mobile Number
Portability (MNP) was to enhance
competition among telecoms
operators so as improve on the
quality of service.
``The MNP is a system which
enables a subscriber to move
from one network to another if
not satisfied with the quality of
service, without changing his or
her SIM number,” he said.
