Nigerian Service Providers Warned Against Fraudulent Promo...N10million Fine Will be Imposed.


This was disclosed on Tuesday at the public inquiries on the draft enforcement processes/procedures, regulations and SIM replacement guidelines held in Abuja by the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC.

N10million fine would be imposed on any service provider that violates its guidelines on promotion of adverts in the telecoms networks by Nigerian Communications Commission(NCC).

According to Juwah, with the rapid growth in telecoms industry, the commission has noticed high incidences of non-compliance to advert regulation by service operators, adding that stringent penalty was required to ensure strict compliance.

He warned that continuous violation of regulations by operators would eventually lead to withdrawal of regulatory assistance by NCC, adding that the commission would take all necessary measures to ensure that telecoms operators’ compliance with its rules and guidelines with regard to adverts promotions was enforced.

There was a contention that, there has been a marginal improvement in quality of services rendered, noting that the commission has been measuring the key performance indicators of operators.

Also speaking, the Head of Legal Services in NCC, Yetunde Akinloye, explained that the enforcement processes, regulations and SIM replacement are being amended after 10 years to ensure best practice in the industry and in tune with the current realities.

Akinloye said the running of promos on the telecoms networks without the approval of NCC violates the regulations on adverts promotions, noting that the new regulations would come into effect before the end of the year

POEM: DOWN AND OUT

Down and Out Who cares to notice the penniless? Who cares how they became ripen? Griping you to their desperate chest, So jamed and bashed crossing to beg, Limps and crawls from spot to spot. . My chest flames to such doleful pleas, Clutching hooves strolling thier way, Smokes my heart to hear them cry out, ‘‘Oh how will I succeed, Oh how do I live?” “I crave you with every breath I got in me” Old and weary, young and lanky, Resting beneath bridges for warmth,  Feasting on scrap wearing tatters, Without buddies, no family, nor us, No one seem to see or care little. Having nothing that matters to the rich, Pleased with what they receive with hope,  From break to night, twenty four seven, Lay noisy tummys by slumpy gutters, If they disappeared who cares where to? Miserable basking on side walks, Faces pale like out of oxygen for days, Targets of hunger, cold and epidemic, A smile can warm a paupers lifetime, Let them in, they knock, share your little.

The Much We Know It is such a wonderful phenomenon that as human we exist in our own worlds, with different beliefs, reasons and characters, yet in all these differences , decisions made does not only affect the maker of this decision but also the society at large. Generally, man works to be successful and well respected, either working to positively or negatively affect the society. Even that individual who does nothing at all will be successful in nothing, these things pays off on the society either consciously or unconsciously.

The consciousness of man helps make deci...

POEM: COULD I BUT SHOW YOU

COULD I BUT SHOW YOU                 Could I but show you how a word can grow into a thorn that lodges deep within? The softest places of the hardest men, you wouldn't be so quick to let one go. In silences, defenceless and alone, security and self-esteem descend; ambitions cease and aspirations bend in the victims of a fatal verbal blow.                     If I could show you how a word can rise - bring laughter, bring excitement, bring rapport, bring nations out of poverty and war - perhaps your speech would seek a different guise. What problems of this world could be deterred if we revered the value of a word?            By Corey Harvard
