NCC pledges more collaboration with Nigerian universities

Nigerian Communications Commission is pledging more collaboration with universities in the country towards transforming Nigeria into a knowledge-based economy.

Chairman of the Commission’s board, Professor Adeolu Akande, made the promise while paying a courtesy visit on the Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University, Kano, Professor Sagir Abbas.

Akande noted that the Nigerian Communications Commission superintends a sector that is knowledge-driven and therefore, it can only achieve its mandate with enhanced collaboration with educational institutions.

According to him, in the absence of the citadels of learning, the communications industry would be nothing to write home about.
