National Executive Council of the Association of Telecommunications
Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) has requested that the Nigerian Communications Commission
(NCC) initiate the process of National Right of passage for all technical staff
of telecommunications companies in the event of foreseeable lockdown by either
the Federal Government or the State Government in an attempt to curb the spread
of Coronavirus outbreak in the country.
In a press statement released recently by the Executive Secretary Ajibola Olude, ATCON, the request is made because of the essential nature of
telecommunications infrastructures in managing the entire situation and the need
for maintenance and repairs that may arise during the possible lockdown.
“We count on NCC to expedite action in this regard while we appreciate
the Commission for being proactive and attentive.
“We also urge all our teeming members and their staff to comply
with all the guidelines stipulated by the Federal Ministry of Health and all
relevant authorities at State levels,” the statement disclosed.
