He explained that the initiative is designed to ensure wider access to mobile devices for Nigerians at more affordable rates.

He made this known recently during a media briefing with journalists in Abuja, stating, “We are exploring ways to bring less expensive smartphones into circulation.”

He also noted that despite the push for affordability, there is a clear shift in usage trends, with more people adopting 4G technology while gradually moving away from 3G and 2G devices.

“From available data, we are observing a steady transition to 4G connectivity. Currently, over 52 percent of users are on 4G networks,” he added.

He also  commended media coverage of the telecommunications sector, describing it as instrumental in supporting the Commission’s work.

According to him, press reporting has helped in policy execution, keeping the public informed about developments, and ensuring regulatory accountability.
