By The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and her Ghanaian counterpart, the National Communications Authority (NCA) are concerned about the need for continued knowledge exchange, technical cooperation, and collaborative monitoring of telecommunications operations within their respective jurisdictions.
The Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr Aminu Maida, led a team of executives from the Commission on a working visit to the Acting Director-General of the NCA, Rev. Ing. Edmund Yirenkyi Fianko on a two-day visit where meetings of mutual benefits were held.
At one of the meetings, both regulators exchanged insights on key regulatory areas, including Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring, telecom infrastructure protection, consumer protection best practices, and cybersecurity.
As part of the two-day visit, the NCC delegation toured the NCA’s Communications Monitoring Centre (CMC), which enables near real-time monitoring of QoS performance across Ghana through its Network Monitoring System.
The team also visited the NCA’s Common Platform, a system used to track the financial performance of licensed operators.
Both institutions delivered presentations highlighting their respective regulatory milestones over the past decade.
During talks at the visit, the NCC shared notable achievements such as the successful implementation of the NIN-SIM linkage policy, the rollout of its Incident Reporting Platform, the development of frameworks for Quality of Service, Consumer Satisfaction, and Compliance Indices.
It was also a time to shed lights on initiatives like Tariff Simplification and the operationalisation of the Presidential Order designating telecom infrastructure as Critical National Information Infrastructure.
