Senate To Engage NCC, TELCOS Over Substandard Services

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

Concerned about persistent complaints by telecommunications subscribers over charges on failed connections and other network interruptions, the Senate has resolved to engage stakeholders to address the situation.

Lawmakers responding to a motion by the Senate Chief Whip emphasised that Nigerians must not be made to pay for telecom services that were not effectively delivered.

The Senate Committee on Communications has been given four weeks to engage the NCC and telecom operators, assess the financial losses suffered by subscribers, and recommend sanctions against violators.
