The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has lauded the decision of the African Telecommunication Union (ATU) to speak with one voice on continental telecommunications and global issues.

The Executive Vice-Chairman (EVC), NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, gave the commendation on Monday at the ongoing ATU conference Abuja 2026, where the Director, Internal Audit at NCC, Stella Erebor, emerged as the chairperson of the Conference of Plenipotentaires of the 7th Ordinary Session of the conference of Plenipotentaires in Nigeria.

“Nigeria is proud to host this gathering and proud of what it represents. Africa’s determination to prepare together and to speak with greater coherence on the issues shaping the future of telecommunications and the digital economy.

“Africa must prepare together, work together between meetings, and arrive at global forums with positions that are both coherent and technically compelling, a conference preparatory committee can easily sound like the work that takes place before the important work. In reality, it is where much of the important work is done.
