“The Commission acknowledges the significant role consumers play in the telecommunications ecosystem and will continue to introduce consumer-focused initiatives to protect their rights.”

He stressed the importance of Consumer Education as a key tool in promoting consumer rights and assured that the Commission will engage with consumers through various outreach programs such as Telecom Consumer Parliament…

Telecom Consumer Conversations, Market Conversation, Village Square Dialogue, Campus Conversation, NYSC Camp Sensitization, and Town Hall on Radio.
