The Director-General of Consumer Protection Council (CPC), Mrs. Dupe Atoki, has commended the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) Prof Umar Danbatta for tackling impunity in telecommunication sector.
A statement by Yakubu Musa, the media aide to  Danbatta, quoted Atoki of making the commendation in Abuja while paying a courtesy call to the NCC chief in his office.
She said her agency would continue to support Danbatta in his efforts to ensure international standards and nation’s regulations are implemented.
 “We would like to also extend our commendation for  how you had started this tenure by ensuring that impunity is beginning  to be a thing of the past with businesses, particularly the multinationals, who literally wear the garment of immunity because they’d been given that laxity for a long time,” she said.
Responding to some of the consumer complaints, which Atoki brought to the NCC, Danbatta, however, stressed that only the NCC has the capacity to determine the technical parameters that affect Quality of Service (QoS) in the country, assuring that the commission is on top of the situation.
He listed lack of steady power supply, vandalisation of telecommunications infrastructure, multiple regulations and multiple taxations as parts of non-technical factors that negatively affect the quality of telecommunication services in the country.
