No telecom operator will shortchange Nigerians under Buhari – Communications Minister

 

With respect to poor quality of service and regulatory deficiencies, the Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, has vowed that no Nigerian telecom service provider would be allowed to short-change any subscriber under the current administration.

Shittu maintained that the various complaints of telecom subscribers across board and the challenges facing mobile telecom operators in Nigeria were being comprehensively examined with a view to finding lasting solutions in conjunction with relevant stakeholders within the shortest time possible.

In a statement on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on media, Victor Oluwadamilare, Shittu noted that the telecom sector holds the ace to the litany of economic challenges confronting the nation.

According to him, “As we celebrate the New Year, I appeal to all Nigerians, our supporters, Oyo State indigenes and residents in general to continue to rally support for President Muhammadu Buhari and Governors, so as to ensure the success of the ongoing transformation.

“The various complaints of telecom subscribers across board and the challenges besetting telecom operators in Nigeria are being looked into holistically with a view to finding lasting solutions in conjunction with relevant stakeholders within the possible shortest time.”

Shittu added that the telecom sector holds a lot of promise for the economic growth of Nigeria in terms of revenue generation and massive employment generation if all the industry’s potentials and ICT’s limitless opportunities were well harnessed.

He urged the citizens to support President Muhammadu Buhari to provide the enabling environment for the industry to thrive.
