The Civil Society Groups for Good Governance (CSGGG), a coalition of over 180 civil society organisations, has commended the Management of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) led by Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, for driving various regulatory initiatives for the development of the country’s digital economy.
Comrade Ogakwu Dominic, president of the group, gave the commendation during a visit to the Commission’s Head Office in Abuja on Thursday, October 21, 2021, to present an award and appreciation letter to the EVC.
Dominic said the certificate of performance presented to the EVC was in recognition of his efforts in driving regulatory initiatives under his supervision and more importantly, to appreciate NCC’s support for the successful hosting of a recently-concluded ‘RoundTable on Digital Economy.’
“The EVC has demonstrated a high level of patriotism, commitment and statesmanship and as such, the Certificate of Performance (CoP) we are presenting today is to commend you for your renowned track record as a leader with great passion focused on effective growth and advancement of the Nigerian economy as the basis for enhanced national development,” Dominic said.
Assistant Director, Digital Economy, at the NCC, Uket Bassey, while receiving the delegation on behalf of the EVC, appreciated the award and certificate presented to the NCC boss, saying it is symbolic of the fact that, an important organisation like the Civil Society Groups for Good Governance appreciates the good work the Commission has been doing to create digital access for all and sundry.
Bassey said, as the telecom regulator, the Commission aims to support and partner with all relevant stakeholders and Nigerians at large, noting that this will ensure that the growth of the country’s socio-economic system is sustained through the promotion of universal access and service to all Nigerians, regardless of their circumstances.
