The Nigerian Communications Commission NCC has announced that it has engaged the services of PricewaterhouseCoopers PwC to conduct a comprehensive study on the level of competition in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
The study, mandated under Section 92 of the Nigerian Communications Act NCA, 2003, and the Competition Practices Regulations CPR, 2007, aims to provide an independent, data-driven evaluation of competitive conditions in the sector. The findings are expected to guide proportionate regulatory interventions that promote effective competition, protect consumer welfare, encourage investment, and support national digital development objectives.
PwC will engage a wide range of critical stakeholders, including licensed telecom operators, industry associations, and consumer groups, to gather data, submissions, and perspectives that will ensure the study reflects current and evolving market realities.
