Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, one of the sons
of the late Igbo leader, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has
commended the Muhammadu Buhari administration for the reforms in the
telecommunications sector.
The young Ojukwu, who is the Sole
Administrator of the Nnewi-North Local Government Area of Anambra State,
gave the commendation on Tuesday during a town hall meeting organised
by the commission for telecommunications providers and subscribers in
the area.
He said the Nigerian Communications
Commission had recently initiated various programmes for the education
of telecoms subscribers in the rural areas.
He noted that the initiatives began
after the inauguration of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration,
adding that it showed the passion of the administration towards
improving the lot of the rural dwellers.
At the event, the NCC warned mobile
telephone users not to give out their phones to strangers in order to
avoid being implicated in crimes.
The Executive Vice-Chairman of the NCC, Professor Umar Garba, gave the warning.
Garba was represented on the occasion by the Deputy Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau of the NCC, Dr. Femi Atoyebi.
Garba restated that the essence of the
SIM card registration by subscribers was to ensure that any crime
committed using any particular phone would be easily detected.
