The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has attracted industry commendation for its efficient regulatory processes that have given verve to the realisation of full digital economy in the country.
According to a statement issued by the NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Dr Reuben Muoka, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), CashToken Africa, Mr. Lai Labode, gave the commendation at the opening of the AfricaNext show, held at Landmark Event Centre, Lagos, on Monday.
Labode spoke at the CashToken 2023 AfricaNXT conference, themwd, “Socially Smart Business Models: Universal Cash Reward, Direct Sales Gamification and Wealth Redistribution.”
He said the manner with which the NCC understands and supports the emergence of companies that have critical roles to play in actualising the dreams of the digital economy indicated that Nigeria will make the desired impact in the future of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
Labode stressed that, the commission’s approach to transform the telecoms industry and contribute to the Federal Government’s digital economy agenda was reflected in the diligence, speed and smartness in processing recent applications including that of CashToken, which, he said, had led to a major collaboration with Mobile Network Operators.
Other participants also spoke about the demonstration of commitment to efficiency in NCC’s operations and attainment of excellence in regulatory oversight, a key item in the commission’s extant five-point agenda for transforming the telecoms sector.
CashToken Africa, operated by CeLD, is a Nigerian company advocating performance-based customer rewards and nudging firms to reward their customers with life-transforming rewards.
