  "summary": "Stakeholders in Nigeria's telecommunications and technology sectors have proposed a National Telecom Sustainability Index to measure the industry's environmental, social, and governance performance. The index, unveiled at a stakeholder strategy breakfast in Abuja, aims to provide a common basis for assessing the sustainability of telecom operators and strengthen investor confidence through measurable sustainability metrics. The proposed framework, developed by the Telecoms and Technology Sustainability Working Group (TTSWG), covers five pillars: Environment and Energy, Digital Inclusion and Affordability, Digital Integrity, Infrastructure Resilience and Governance, and Supply Chain and Local Value Creation.",
