SAN FRANCISCO, July 08, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has said that it was not among the members of the new board of Etisalat.
NAN reports that NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Mr Tony Ojobo stated this in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
Ojobo said that the attention of the commission had been drawn to a report by some media organisations to the effect that NCC was represented on the new Board of Etisalat.
“The commission hereby makes it clear that it is not on the Board of Etisalat.
“As the regulator of the telecommunications sector, there was a recommendation suggesting that NCC should be on the new board of the company but the commission declined.
“The NCC considered it necessary to bring this to the attention of the general public,” he said.
Etisalat Nigeria on Tuesday, July 4, confirmed the appointment of Boye Olusanya, a former Deputy Managing Director of Celtel Nigeria (now Airtel Nigeria) as its Chief Executive Officer.
