The Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida has revealed that one of the key values of the Commission remains good corporate governance.
Speaking at the 2024 Annual Corporate Governance Conference held in Lagos on the topic: “Corporate Survival and Sustainability—The New Face of Governance in the Nigerian Telecoms Sector,” the NCC boss averred that “To thrive, we need governance frameworks that not only ensure compliance but also promote innovation, trust, and long-term value.
“At the Nigerian Communications Commission, we see good corporate governance as more than a checklist; it must be a culture ingrained at every level of an organization.
“In today’s fast-evolving world, corporate governance isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it’s the foundation of the telecom industry’s success and sustainability.
“As leaders, it’s our responsibility to ensure our governance frameworks are robust, adaptable, and in tune with the changing global landscape,” he said.
Dr. Maida further noted that reflecting on the remarkable growth of Nigeria’s telecom industry and its significant contribution to our country’s GDP, “Today, governance in our sector goes beyond compliance; it’s the key to survival, sustainability, and continued growth.
According to him, “Survival” and “sustainability” are no longer optional—they are essential for corporate success. Companies in our sector are facing rising regulatory, environmental, and societal pressures.
