The management of ipNX, a licensee of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), paid a visit to the NCC on Thursday.
The delegation from ipNX, led by the group managing director Ejovi Aror, praised the management of NCC for its regulatory activities, describing the commission’s actions as marked by efficiency and effectiveness.
Aror also hinted about the company’s plan to expand its operations in Nigeria, in a manner that will heighten the role of the telecom sector in the growth of the Nigerian economy.
“Therefore, we are here to solicit your support for our plan to expand our businesses because we are at the threshold of closing a chapter and moving onto another, particularly in expanding broadband infrastructure which is critical to national development,” Aror stated.
The ipNX boss stated the company’s readiness to extend such services to other parts of the country, particularly in schools, because of the importance of ICT to educational development.
Responding to the ipNX delegation, the executive vice chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, who was represented by the commission’s executive commissioner, stakeholder management (ECSM), Adeleke Adewolu, thanked ipNX for the visit and for the testimony about how NCC’s regulatory activities have caused growth in leaps and bounds in the fortunes of the telecom ecosystem.
Adewolu declared that NCC is particularly gratified by the remarkable and quantifiable impact of commission’s activities on the economy, including increase in the sectoral contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Adewolu promised that the encouraging words of ipNX’s delegation will spur the commission to put in more efforts towards achieving its mandate.
Aror, was accompanied on the visit to the commission by the group executive director, commercials, ipNX, Bimpe Olaleye; divisional CEO, ipNX infrastructure division, Uche Nnakenyi; and Tunde Olorunyomi, financial controller, ipNX.
