BY TOLU AKINWALE—The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is set to bring key stakeholders in the telecommunications industry together in Lagos as it continues consultations on the level of competition in Nigeria’s telecoms sector.
Newsconnect Online reports that the Commission will hold its Second Stakeholder Engagement Forum on the Study of the Level of Competition in the Nigerian Telecommunications Industry on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
The forum is scheduled to take place at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, with proceedings expected to begin at 10:00 a.m.
The engagement forms part of the NCC’s ongoing stakeholder consultation on competition within the telecommunications industry, providing an opportunity for industry players and other relevant stakeholders to engage with the Commission on the subject.
Competition remains a key issue in Nigeria’s telecoms sector, where operators compete for subscribers, investment and market opportunities. The outcome of the Commission’s study could provide insights into the state of competition in the industry, although the NCC has not disclosed any findings or conclusions from the ongoing assessment.
As part of efforts to encourage participation, the Commission has invited stakeholders to the forum and provided a QR code through which interested participants can access the second stakeholder consultation on the study.
The Lagos engagement is expected to provide a platform for discussions and contributions from stakeholders as the regulatory body continues its assessment of the competitive landscape in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
The NCC has directed members of the public and interested stakeholders to visit its official website, www.ncc.gov.ng, or follow its social media platforms, including @ngcomcommission, for further information.
