Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Umar Danbatta, announced on Thursday that the commission is taking measures to address the problem of data depletion in the sector.
The NCC chief stated this during the 91st edition of the Telecom Consumer Parliament under the theme: “Data Depletion: Discussions on Various Perspectives” held in Abuja.
The event was attended by representatives of the regulator and consumer advocacy groups.
Danbatta, who was represented at the forum by the NCC Director of Licensing and Authorisation, Mr. Muhammed Babajika, said data depletion is one of the most common complaints among customers in the country’s telecommunication industry.
The complaints, according to him, are mostly from customers who recently migrated to the 4G/LTE technology platform.
He added that the NCC has increased its capacity to handle type approval of devices following the introduction of 5G technology.
