Dr. Aminu Maida, Executive Vice-Chairman/CEO of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has commended the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), for its invaluable contributions to national development and the telecommunications sector. Speaking at the NYSC Legal Officers Workshop in Abuja.
Dr. Maida acknowledged the significant impact of NYSC members on the economy and the communications industry.
He emphasized the importance of capacity building and continuous training for legal officers to ensure effective compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Maida also commended NYSC for organizing the workshop, which will enhance the service delivery of its legal officers and contribute to the growth of the economy.
In a heartfelt address, Dr. Maida conveyed his warm wishes and commendations to the NYSC Legal Officers Workshop, held recently in Abuja, FCT. His inspiring message marked the opening ceremony of the event, setting the tone for a productive and enriching experience for all participants.
“This valuable contribution is also felt in the communications industry, and in the operations of the Commission as it carries out its mandate of the Nigerian communications industry.
“As duly noted by the NYSC, the Commission is a stakeholder in the data protection of citizens in Nigeria to the extent that it mandates its licensees to protect the information of subscribers against accidental or improper disclosure (as provided in its Consumer Code of Practice Regulations, 2007).
According to Maida, NYSC also has played a vital role in fostering national unity by instilling values, such as service to community, oneness and brotherhood of every Nigerian citizen regardless of cultural, ethnic or social leanings.
The NCC Chief Executive also highlighted the Commission’s commitment to protecting citizens’ data and ensuring compliance with regulatory directives.
He encouraged legal officers to embrace emerging technologies for effective service delivery.
The Director-General of NYSC, Brig-Gen. Y. Ahmed, also stressed the importance of continuous training and capacity building for legal officers in effective legal representation.
