According to the statement endorsed by Dr. Ikechukwu Adinde,
Director, Public Affairs of the commission saying The Ericsson Mobility Report
cited in the online publication is essentially a forecast of trends based on
Ericsson’s analysis and does not refer to the NCC or any official channel as
source for its data and/or projections.
It is therefore inaccurate that Nigeria recorded 3million
new lines in the 1st Quarter of 2021 as stated in the media report.
The statement further pointed out that “We wish to use this
opportunity to clarify that the Nigerian Communications Commission and the
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) are the only authoritative sources of
authentic data on the Nigerian telecommunications sector. Indeed, the
Commission is well aware of the critical need to make accurate and up-to-date
data available to all Stakeholders.
“Indeed, as a matter of corporate policy and consistent with
international best practice, relevant data and statistics on the industry are
transparently reported and regularly updated on the Commission’s website (<
https://www.ncc.gov.ng/statistics-reports/industry-overview >) for free use
by interested Stakeholders.
The Commission, therefore encourages all Stakeholders to
visit its website for authentic data on the sector and to refer all doubts to
its Public Affairs Department to avoid unnecessary controversy and/or
inadvertently misleading other Stakeholders who may rely on such reports.
“The Commission also urges Stakeholders to disregard any
information on subscriber data different from those presented in the
Commission’s website.
