………Visits Minister to discuss priority areas
The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr Aminu Maida, says transparency will form the bedrock of his leadership as Nigeria’s chief telecom regulator.
Maida pledged this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani in Abuja.
He said transparency would enable NCC to have a solid foundation, resilience, accountability and become an efficient institution.
The NCC boss had gone to brief the minister about his activities, vision and strategy since the assumption of office in October.
“Transparency is key. It is by transparency that we can self-regulate even as regulators.
“And by doing so, we will put ourselves on our toes. In the long run, we will drive the commission to achieve goals of operational excellence,” Maida stated.
He commended the minister for leading by example for transparency in his leadership style.
“One of the principles you have shown as a leader is transparency. And it is an attribute that has the potential to bring about a transformed industry that is accountable to both the people and the industry players.
“I have been on this seat for about six weeks and it has afforded me the privilege of a bird’s eye view to understand things better, and identify areas that we urgently need to work on.

“The NCC is a stellar agency, and you have my respect for the work that you do.
“There is no future for the country without the NCC. Already, the quality you have is good.
“We need to now tap into this quality to bring about greater value for the country,” Tijani said.
