  "account": "The House of Representatives in Nigeria has summoned the CEOs of major telecommunications companies, including MTN, Airtel, and Glo, to appear on October 28 to address concerns over declining service quality. The House Ad hoc Committee investigating the issue issued the directive, warning that non-compliance could result in arrest. This follows the rejection of previous invitations by the CEOs of MTN, MAFAB Communications, and other providers. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been tasked with ensuring the CEOs' attendance at the National Assembly Complex, along with the submission of relevant documents. Osoba, the committee chairman, expressed frustration with the companies for generating significant revenue from Nigeria while evading accountability. He also criticized the operators for failing to appear before lawmakers to address ongoing complaints about poor network quality, despite substantial investments in infrastructure.",
