Last week, the newly constituted Board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) held its induction retreat in Uyo in Akwa Ibom State.
Under the chairmanship of Chief Idris Olorunnimbe, the retreat provided an opportunity for the Board to deliberate on Management’s strategic focus and reaffirm the Commission’s critical role as a catalyst for Nigeria’s digital economy.
The retreat featured distinguished experts as facilitators: Mrs. Yetunde Akinloye led a close review of the Nigerian Communications Act (2003); Paul Usoro, SAN, shared reflections on effective board governance and oversight within a national telecommunications regulator; Professor Hyacinth Nwana brought an international lens to the role of the regulator and the future of regulation; and Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, OFR, SAN grounded the Board on core corporate goverreposance principles.
Independent News Express reports that the sessions, which were rigorous and candid, anchored on strong governance, regulatory credibility, and a sharper focus on outcomes for consumers, industry, and Nigeria’s digital economy—matters at the heart of the Commission’s strategic focus.
