Alleged unjustified deductions: Senate mandates committee to invite NCC, MTN, Globacom, others

The resolution followed consideration of a motion sponsored by the Senate Chief Whip, Muhammed Monguno (APC Borno North) and seconded by Sen. Ned Nwoko, (APC Delta North)on Wednesday during plenary

Sen. Lola Ashiru( APC-Kwara South), who moved the motion on behalf of Monguno, said telecommunications services had become indispensable to individuals, businesses, and public institutions, with millions of Nigerians relying on mobile networks daily.

Seconding the motion, Nwoko described it as timely, saying that telecommunications challenges affected virtually every Nigerian and required urgent attention from relevant regulatory authorities.

He said Nigerians should not continue paying for communication services that were not effectively delivered, adding that the concerns raised deserved appropriate regulatory intervention.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, however directed the committee to engage the minister overseeing telecommunications and NCC leadership on the matter and and submit its report within four weeks(NAN) NY/SH
