Nigeria’s minister for Information and Communications, Professor Dora Akunyili, has underlined the commitment of the Federal government to the introduction of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in its bid to increase competition and expand the horizon for excellence in customer service.
Professor Akunyili, who was speaking at the launch of the Airtel brand in Nigeria, last week in Abuja, also congratulated the management and staff of the company for the successful launch of their new brand. She noted that Mobile Number Portability would help increase competition among telecoms operators in the country as well as reduce tariff thereby driving affordability.
According to Akunyili, the Minister expressed delight that Airtel was keenly aligned with the government’s desire to introduce Mobile Number Portability. They have noted with interest your call for Mobile Number Portability, which will ultimately help to increase competition among the operators and result in reduced tariffs. There are a few other initiatives you are pursuing in a bid to lower the tariff paid by customers on your network. Let her assure you that government through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) will continue to support you and indeed the industry.
She assured the company of government support through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) just as she called on the leadership of Airtel Nigeria to create more opportunities to empower more Nigerians to realize their entrepreneurial potentials.
The Minister also emphasized the need for more Nigerians to be given more leadership opportunities and roles in the organization as this would help improve their entrepreneurial skills.
