The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) may impose sanctions on erring telecoms operators in the global system for mobile communications (GSM) sector if the ongoing performance test on the networks reveals that any of them did not meet the minimum standard set for the industry.

There are strong indications of possible mergers and acquisition in the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) segment of the Nigerian telecommunications market as the big players, Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) operators, continue to dictate the direction of the market.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has put necessary measures in place to vigorously accelerate the completion of its Emergency Communication Centres in all the states of the federation, an initiative that would cost over N4billion as this covers the purchase of land, equipment and related infrastructure for its realisation.

Systems Applications Products (SAP), a leading global information technology giant, last week introduced into the Nigerian market some mobile solutions and applications that would enhance efficiency, development and overall growth of businesses in the country.

Mrs. Omobola Johnson, minister of communication technology, has disclosed that the information communication technology (ICT) industry would in 2015 contribute 35 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with the huge success recorded since the liberalisation process and also create about 1.3 million jobs, thereby fostering the required development that would enhance the realisation of the Vision 20-2020.

Main One Cable Company has extended connectivity to NGCOM Limited, a leading network solutions company in Nigeria.

Main One Cable Company, a private undersea cable infrastructure provider in Nigeria, has advocated for a national broadband policy under the newly created information communication technology (ICT) ministry in order to achieve development and easy access to fibre infrastructure in the country.

Dr. Eugene Juwah, executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has said that the much required broadband infrastructure in the country would advance the course of the federal government in actualising its aim in making Nigeria one of the top 20 economies in the year 2020.
