House of Reps Demands Telecom CEOs Appear on November 4
The House of Representatives has issued a warning regarding the potential issuance of arrest warrants for the chief executives of telecommunications companies if they do not appear before its committee investigating ongoing issues with network services. This warning was articulated on Wednesday by the Ad hoc Committee, which is examining the quality of telecommunications services in Nigeria.
The committee, chaired by Olumide Osoba, previously rejected an attempt by the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), represented by its chairman Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, to stand in for the affected companies. The committee had invited MTN Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Globacom, Mafab Communications, and other licensed operators on October 21, 2026, to address complaints about dropped calls, slow internet connectivity, failed transactions, and inadequate network coverage.
The operators' delegation of Adebayo was not accepted, leading to a resolution to require the CEOs to appear in person on November 4, 2026.
