Dr. Aminu Maida, the executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has received updates from Engr. Aliyu Aboki, the executive secretary of the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly (WATRA), at my office in Abuja.
WATRA was founded in 2002 as a consultative and collaborative body of Telecommunications Regulators in the West African subregion with the objective of aiding and advancing the development of telecommunications in the sub region and ultimately in Africa.
Engr. Aboki visited the EVC yesterday. Nigeria, through the Nigerian Communication Commission is a member of this body of telecommunication regulators, “and we have been at the forefront of providing support to WATRA’.
“During our meeting, Engr. Aboki shared updates to projects that are being undertaken by WATRA, and a rundown of his stewardship in the past 30 months since he was elected as Executive Secretary. I am impressed by the work that has been done by WATRA under Engr. Aboki. He is rest assured of unfettered support from the Commission”, the EVC said.
