NCC storms Bodija market, sensitises telecom subscribers
The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) on Wednesday stormed Bodija market in Ibadan to sensitise market men and women on telecommunication operators in Nigeria.
NCC said the move became necessary since market men and women hardly have time to attend its sensitisation programme because of their businesses.
Speaking at the 3rd edition of “market conversation” the Head of Consumer Affairs of NCC, Aina Ojo maintained the event was aimed at sensitising people on how to make good use of their data, address some challenges facing them and proffer solutions.
He said: “Some of them asked questions, some of them tells us their challenges, so, it is our responsibility as consumers protection to make sure our consumers are protected.”
He urged Nigerians to report cases of any telecommunication infrastructure vandalism to security agencies, adding that security agencies would protect whoever gives them vital information about any vandal.
“We also have a platform for you to lodge your complaints which is 622. We shall attend to it and nobody will know your identity. Let’s all protect government infrastructure, without it, you can’t communicate, and that is one of the challenges facing the nation, people go about vandalising thinking they are doing the government.”
Babaloja of Oyo State, Alhaji Jimoh Aderemi commended NCC for the initiative, urging his members to key into lessons obtained during the sensistisation programme.
