Nigerian Communications Commission

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is an autonomous regulatory body that oversees Nigeria's telecommunications sector. Established in 1992, it aims to empower Nigeria's telecommunications landscape through fair regulation, industry standards, and consumer protection. The commission fosters fair competition, shields communication service providers from exploitation, and facilitates investment and market entry for communication services and facilities in Nigeria. It safeguards consumer interests, oversees license issuance and renewal, proposes license condition amendments, and sets and enforces technical specifications for communications equipment. NCC plays a pivotal role in the governance and advancement of Nigeria's telecommunications infrastructure from its headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria.
