The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has concluded plans to take its investment drive, especially in the area of broadband telecommunications deployment, to the ITU Telecom World holding in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Executive Vice- Chairman, NCC, Dr. Eugene Juwah affirmed this plan, saying that the minister of Communications Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson is leading Nigerian delegation to the International Telecommunications Union conference holding in Dubai, between October 14 and 18, 2012.

Also, he said the ITU event features high quality, influential mix of participants drawn from across the global Information and Communications Technology industry alongside Heads of Government, offered the best platform to woo investments to the broadband communication sector.

Broadband refers to a communications bandwidth of, at least, 256 kilobits per second. Each channel is six MHz wide and it uses an extensive range of frequencies to effortlessly relay and receive data between networks.

Further, Juwah said owing to the benefits of the new telecommunication model, the current management of the NCC had been championing the initiative in the country.

“Nigeria’s broadband initiative is aimed at rapidly changing lives and approach to businesses through increased efficiency and attracting investment. It is also aimed at connecting the entire nation and sub-region. It is in view of this that the NCC is taking the campaign for broadband investment to ITU telecom World 2012, Dubai, UAE, in order to attract investors in the broadband deployment across the country,” he said.
