The Nigerian Communications Commission has said the vandalism of telecommunication infrastructure has a negative impact on communities as it reduces coverage area and leads to dead spots on networks which results in poor quality of service and quality of experience by telecom consumers.

The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, disclosed this during the second edition of the Village Square Dialogue with a focus on ‘Protection of Telecom Infrastructure for Improved Quality of Service: The Role of Residents,’ which was held recently.

This was revealed in a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs, NCC, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde

Danbatta, who was represented by NCC’s Director, Technical Standards and Network Integrity, Bako Wakil, communities must protect telecom infrastructure and allow the installation of equipment and their maintenance or repairs to ensure improved telecom service delivery

He stated that members of respective communities must guard against the destruction of telecoms infrastructure by promptly notifying service providers of ongoing road construction activ
