Nigeria, Dec. 25 -- The newly inaugurated Governing Board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has outlined a reform agenda aimed at repositioning the regulator as a central driver of Nigeria's digital economy, amid rapid technological change and growing demand for digital infrastructure.

The agenda was unveiled at a board retreat where members reviewed the commission's mandate under the Nigerian Communications Act (2003) and examined governance frameworks required to steer regulation in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Nigeria's telecommunications sector has grown into one of the country's most critical economic pillars, contributing over 16 per cent to national GDP in recent years, according to official data.
