NCC Seeks Partnership With Judiciary To Protect Telecommunication Infrastructure

Dr Aminu Maida, Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, NCC

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is seeking partnership with the Judiciary as part of it’s commitment to building enduring partnerships across government, to ensure the protection of telecommunication infrastructure and implementation of Critical National Information Infrastructure Presidential Order that will support the nation’s digital transformation drive.

Speaking at the 2024 Edition of the Judges Workshop at Sheraton Hotel Ikeja, Lagos, with the theme “The role of the judiciary in accelerating digital transformation in Nigeria,” Dr Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, NCC, highlighted the Commission’s mandate as enshrined in the National Communications Act 2003, regarding the country’s digital transformation.

He emphasized the Commission’s commitment to building enduring partnerships across government, especially with the judiciary, to adequately protect the nation’s telecommunication infrastructure.

“Our mandate at the Nigerian Communications Commission, as enshrined in the National Communications Act 2003, is a wide-ranging one that includes the establishment and oversight of a regulatory framework for the Nigerian communications industry, as well as the promotion of efficient, reliable, affordable and easily accessible communications services across the country.  

“This mandate means that we play an integral role in Nigeria’s transition to a truly digital economy. An important aspect of this role involves facilitating the deployment and safeguarding of telecommunication infrastructure – which is essentially the backbone upon which digital services are delivered across various sectors of the economy.

“You will agree with me that we cannot guarantee a truly digital economy without being able to adequately protect this telecommunication infrastructure that underpins the digital economy. I am aware, as you all are, of the extent to which the judiciary today depends on digital tools and technologies to carry out its functions. Much of the work that you do as Judges has been transformed over time by the introduction of technology, commendably improving the pace and quality of the delivery of justice in Nigeria, Dr. Maida stated.

While expressing displeasure on the effect of destruction of the nation’s telecommunication infrastructure, NCC boss said, “…over the years, telecommunication infrastructure has suffered from disruptions due extensive damage from vandalism and theft, fiber cuts by construction companies to mention a few, and even restricted access that prevents operators from servicing critical infrastructure. The industry has long called for special protections to be accorded to these assets to ensure continuous connectivity and reliable communication services.

Speaking further, he added “Drawing from the powers granted under the Cybercrimes Act of 2024 to designate what may be characterized as Critical National Information Infrastructure, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in July 2024, signed a Presidential Order that designates all telecommunications infrastructure as Critical National Information Infrastructure. This pivotal advancement for our industry was achieved through the NCC’s proactive advocacy and strategic collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy.

“With this Presidential Order, Nigeria now has a comprehensive policy framework to protect vital telecommunication assets—from base stations and data centers to fiber optic cables. This framework strengthens our ability to decisively confront issues such as vandalism, illegal tampering, and preventing access to communications infrastructure, holding violators accountable to deter future offenses.

“Under this Order, individuals, organizations, or even government agencies are prohibited from sealing, removing, or damaging telecommunications infrastructure without a lawful court order.”

Seeking Judiciary supports for the protection of these Critical National Information Infrastructures, Dr. Maida said, “We anticipate that the courts may occasionally receive requests for orders to grant exceptions to the protections afforded to these Critical National Information Infrastructures. During this workshop, we aim to provide insights that will support judicial discretion in evaluating such requests.

“The Office of the National Security Adviser, which plays a central role in coordinating the operationalization of the Presidential Order, has already begun stakeholder consultations and meetings to facilitate immediate implementation. It is likely that, in the near future, vandals, thieves, and others who breach this Order’s provisions will be brought before your courts.

“We trust that with a deeper understanding of the harm and disruption caused by such actions, the judiciary will impose appropriate sanctions to serve as strong deterrents against criminal activity.

The workshop serves as a platform for the Commission to share insights into the workings of the Critical National Information Infrastructure Presidential Order, its significance, and the crucial role of the judiciary in bringing the Order’s provisions to life, ultimately supporting the accelerated digital transformation that will drive the nation forward.
