Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Danbatta, has tasked sttaff of the Ibadan Zonal Office (IBZO) to sustain their commitment to regulatory effectiveness in keeping with the commission’s strategic objectives.
Danbatta disclosed this recently in Ibadan when he visited the IBZO of the commission en route Osogbo to deliver the 10th and 11th Convocation Lecture of the Fountain University.
Danbatta, management and other staff in his entourage, were earlier received on arrival at Ibadan by the Controller, Ibadan Zonal Office of the commission, Yomi Arowosafe.
Speaking later at an interactive session with staff of the zonal office, Danbatta urged the staff of the commission not to relax because of the successes that have been recorded.
He implored the staff to rededicate themselves decidedly, to their assigned responsibilities, in order to sustain effective delivery of regulatory services to the people of the zone in keeping with commission’s commitment to ensuring greater regulatory effectiveness.
Danbatta asserted that his appeal takes life off the fact that the commission and its staff have become major drivers of the Federal Government’s vision for the birth of a robust digital economy as encapsulated in the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS) 2020-2030 and the Nigerian national Broadband Plan (NNBP) 2020-2025.
In his response, Arowosafe who spoke on behalf of the staff of the zonal office, expressed gratitude to the management for the visit and promised to ensure the zonal office sustains effective delivery of NCC’s regulatory services to the people of the geo-political zone.
The IBZO was established in October 2005 to bring the commission’s regulatory services closer to the South West geopolitical zone, except Lagos and Ogun which are in the purview of Lagos ZonalOffice. The jurisdictional sphere of the Ibadan Zonal Office, however, includes other South West states and Kwara State.
