Telecos Decry NCAA’s Threat to Demolish 7,000 Telecom Masts

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

Telecommunications operators (Telcos) have raised alarm over danger to demolish around 7,000 telecoms masts by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), cautioning that the activity will make telecoms sector challenging.

The administrators pronounced that any telecoms site cut down wrongfully and without due interview would not be remade, including that the outcomes would be felt by all.

Director of the Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Mr. Gbenga Adebayo, who gave the notice, portrayed the move as another approach to force outlandish charges on the segment, which he said was at that point over-troubled with various levies.

Adebayo who talked at the Vanguard Economic Forum in Lagos yesterday, said the part had turned out to be subject of assault from each edge and that the nation has overlooked that telecoms still remain framework in light of the fact that different areas, including avionics, banking, wellbeing, transport depend on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to drive their tasks.

He said when assaulted, the economy and the general population would feel the effect contrarily.

The ALTON executive likewise covered the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for blaming SIM enrollment done by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).

Adebayo said NCC would at present need to accomplish more clarifications since “administrators properly pursued the methodology, models and conventions gave to the administrators at the initiation of the activity about eight years back.”
