“Dr. Maida’s leadership and creative vision are commendable, demonstrating the NCC’s dedication to driving economic growth and development.”

The group acknowledged Dr. Maida’s leadership style, which it said has fostered an open-door policy and encouraged industry stakeholders to engage in constructive dialogue with the commission.

The statement added: “We extend our heartfelt commendation to Dr. Maida and the NCC for their dedication to driving sustainable economic growth and development in the telecoms sector.
