The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has pledged stronger collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force to protect telecom infrastructure nationwide and curb rising cases of vandalism.
NCC Board Chairman Chief Idris Olorunnimbe and Executive Vice Chairman/CEO Dr. Aminu Maida gave the assurance during a working visit to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Olatunji Disu, at Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja.
The talks focused on deepening inter-agency cooperation to safeguard critical telecom infrastructure and drive full implementation of the Presidential Order on Critical National Information Infrastructure, CNII.
Both parties reviewed operational coordination and response mechanisms to address growing threats to national telecommunications assets, including vandalism, theft, and sabotage.
The NCC and the Police stressed that protecting telecom networks is vital to national security, economic stability, and digital governance.
Reliable communications, they noted, underpin banking, emergency services, business operations, and government coordination.
NCC leadership described telecom infrastructure as a national priority, adding that resilience is non-negotiable as Nigeria expands broadband access and digital services.
