According to Dominic, the certificate of performance presented to the Danbatta was in recognition of his efforts in driving regulatory initiatives under his supervision and more importantly, to appreciate NCC’s support for the successful hosting of a recently-concluded ‘RoundTable on Digital economy’.
“The EVC has demonstrated high level of patriotism, commitment and statesmanship and as such, the Certificate of Performance (CoP) we are presenting today is to commend you for your renowned track record as a leader with great passion focused on effective growth and advancement of the Nigerian economy as the basis for enhanced national development,” Dominic said.
Receiving the delegation on behalf of NCC’s boss, the Assistant Director, Digital Economy, NCC, Uket Bassey, said the award is symbolic of the fact that an important organisation like the Civil Society Groups for Good Governance appreciate the good work the commission has been doing to create digital access across country.
Bassey said the NCC aims to support and partner with all relevant stakeholders and Nigerians at large to ensure that universal access and service to all Nigerians is sustained.
