Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has reiterated its commitment to the full operationalisation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s Executive Order on Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII), which designates telecommunications facilities as critical national assets deserving optimal protection.<\/p>\n

This comes on the heels of a successful mediation led by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), in collaboration with the Commission, which resulted in the suspension of a planned strike by the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria (NOGASA).<\/p>\n

The strike, if carried out, would have disrupted the supply of diesel to telecommunications sites nationwide, severely affecting network operators\u2019 ability to power their diesel-driven generators and maintain uninterrupted connectivity.<\/p>\n

In the days leading up to the resolution, the ONSA, under the leadership of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, held strategic engagements with NOGASA\u2019s leadership, with the Commission providing technical and regulatory guidance to highlight the potential implications of service disruptions on national security, the economy, and everyday life.<\/p>\n

The discussions culminated in an agreement to call off the industrial action, averting what could have been a nationwide disruption of telecom services.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelecommunications infrastructure is the backbone of our connectivity and digital economy. Any disruption, whether through vandalism, accidental damage during construction work, theft of equipment, denial of access to maintenance teams, or interruptions in the supply of essential operational materials, has far-reaching implications for service delivery, economic stability, and national security,\u201d the NSA said.<\/p>\n

The Commission expressed appreciation to the ONSA for its leadership and dedication to protecting national assets and commended the maturity and understanding demonstrated by relevant stakeholders in recognising the national importance of telecommunications services.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the development, the Executive Vice Chairman\/Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Dr. Aminu Maida, stated: \u201cWe will continue to enforce strict compliance by our licensees with technical standards for the deployment and maintenance of telecommunications infrastructure, while working closely with relevant stakeholders to strengthen awareness and cooperation on their protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also recognise mediation as an effective tool for building consensus among stakeholders. This resolution underscores the importance of dialogue in preventing avoidable service disruptions. Ultimately, we call on all Nigerians to regard telecom infrastructure as a shared national asset, one that underpins our ability to connect with loved ones, transact businesses, access healthcare, pursue education, and participate in the global digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Commission reaffirmed that it would continue to coordinate with security agencies, industry stakeholders, and the public to ensure that Nigeria\u2019s telecommunications infrastructure remains protected, resilient, and reliable for all.<\/p>\n
