NCC starts rewriting Nigeria’s 26-year telecom policy

The NCC’s review signals that Nigeria’s existing telecom rules are being treated as outdated, which matters because the policy framework shapes how the sector is governed. For operators and investors, the key issue is that a 26-year-old policy is now formally under reconsideration by the regulator. The broader ecosystem implication is that rulemaking, not just network expansion, is back in focus. Watch for the NCC’s next public step in the review process and any draft policy language that follows.
