The Code of Corporate Governance has the capacity to address the huge interconnection indebtedness and the unethical practice of call masking in the telecom sector, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has disclosed
The Board Chairman of the Commission, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, made this known at the recent Code of Corporate Governance workshop in Kano.
“The Code of Corporate Governance is set up to address the concerns of massive interconnection indebtedness and the unethical practice of masking of international calls in the telecom industry,” Durojaiye said.
The Board Chairman of the Commission warned operators to desist from call masking activities or face the consequences of their actions, adding that NCC is currently rejigging its regulatory oversights to ensure consumers get value for money spent on telecommunications services.
According to him, good corporate governance was the best form of self-regulation and that licensees of the commission were encouraged to consider it in their own best interest so as to imbibe and implement the principles enshrined in the code.
