In a new chapter for Nigeria’s telecommunications sector, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has warmly welcomed the appointment of Mr. Idris Olorunnimbe as chairman-designate of its Board.
Mr. Olorunnimbe was appointed alongside other distinguished designate-Board members and members of the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF) Board.
The appointments, announced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, bring together a team of seasoned professionals whose careers are marked by excellence, proven competence, and a deep understanding of governance and innovation.
Dr. Aminu Maida, executive vice chairman/CEO of the NCC, described the new leadership as “a strategic asset” for the nation’s digital economy drive.
“These are individuals with vast experience and a passion for progress. Their collective expertise will not only guide the Commission’s regulatory mission but will also inject fresh momentum into Nigeria’s journey toward a vibrant, inclusive digital economy,” he said.
NCC expressed its gratitude to President Tinubu for the appointments, pledging to work hand-in-hand with its supervising Ministry and the new Board to deliver on the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
With their strategic insights and strong governance approach, the Commission believes this leadership team will help accelerate the transformation of Nigeria’s communications landscape, ensuring it remains a powerful engine for economic growth, innovation, and national development.
