Nigeria’s Network Expansion Gains Momentum with NCC-SWEDFUND Collaboration
NCC and Sweden’s SWEDFUND partner on a real-time Quality of Experience project to enhance network performance, improve regulation, and expand connectivity.
Last week, Dr. Aminu Maida, EVC/CEO of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), alongside the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria, Annika Hahn-Englund, signed a grant agreement with SWEDFUND to fund a Crowdsourcing Quality of Experience Project.
This initiative will leverage real-time data to provide insights on quality of experience and network performance from the consumers’ perspective. This will help inform regulatory decisions and guide the expansion of connectivity in underserved areas across Nigeria.
It will empower the NCC to monitor network performance in real-time, identifying and addressing issues such as dropped calls, slow internet speeds, and weak coverage.
With such valuable data, the NCC will hold telecom providers more accountable, ensuring better service delivery for consumers.
This is a significant step toward enhancing connectivity in Nigeria and has the potential to set a benchmark across Africa.
