House of Reps Orders Telecom CEOs to Explain Service Issues
The House of Representatives has mandated the chief executive officers of major telecommunications companies, including MTN Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Globacom (Glo), and Mafab Communications Ltd., to appear before it within seven days to address the ongoing deterioration of network services in Nigeria. This summons is set for 28 October at 2 p.m. in Hearing Room 447 of the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
The directive was issued by the House Ad Hoc Committee during a public hearing after several invited operators failed to attend. The committee, led by Chairman Olumide Osoba (APC, Ogun), emphasized the critical role of reliable telecommunications in Nigeria's economy, impacting businesses and financial transactions.
The committee also criticized the absence of CEOs, stating that their presence is necessary to discuss operational challenges and solutions. Non-compliance may lead to further summons.
The Nigerian Communications Commission has been tasked to ensure adherence to this resolution.
