The House of Representatives in Nigeria has summoned major telecommunications operators, including MTN Nigeria, Airtel, Globacom, and Mafab Communications, to explain the persistent poor quality of network services across the country. The ultimatum demands that the chief executives of these operators appear before the House Ad Hoc Committee, chaired by Olumide Osoba, within seven days.
The committee, established to investigate the quality of telecommunications services in Nigeria, issued the warning after some operators failed to respond to previous invitations. The committee emphasized that telecommunications services have become indispensable to Nigeria's economy, affecting essential commercial activities like Point of Sale (POS) transactions.
Osoba criticized the operators for ignoring the House's invitations, warning that their non-compliance could lead to arrest summons. The lawmakers also directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to ensure that all affected operators appear before the committee on October 28 at 2pm.
