NCC to Encourage Telecom Operators to Adopt Clean Energy Sources
The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) plans to introduce policies that would encourage telecom operators to adopt clean and sustainable energy sources. This move aims to reduce carbon footprint and promote a greener future while driving innovation and creating new business opportunities within the industry.

The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has unveiled plans to introduce policies that would encourage all telecom operators in the country to adopt clean and sustainable energy sources. The move is expected to reduce the telecom industry's carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.

According to the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, the policy will serve as a framework for telecom service providers to contribute to a sustainable energy supply. In addition to benefiting the environment, the adoption of clean energy sources is also expected to drive innovation and create new business opportunities within the industry.

This initiative recognizes that achieving these objectives requires collaboration and partnership with various stakeholders, including academia. Prof. Danbatta highlighted the crucial role played by academia in advancing research and innovation that can transform industries.

"The academia's expertise, knowledge, and insights will guide us in developing feasible alternative sources of clean energy that the telecommunications industry could leverage for a sustainable energy supply. Our main goal is to refocus future academic research towards feasible alternative sources of clean energy that could be harnessed by the telecom industry," said Prof. Danbatta.

The NCC believes that the research of academia can help understand the potential of alternative energy sources, address their challenges, and develop strategies for their implementation in the telecom sector. Additionally, promoting research in academia that leverages digital technology to improve the livelihoods of Nigerians is also a key objective.

The telecom sector is at the forefront of digital transformation, and therefore, it becomes essential to harness its potential to enhance the lives of citizens. Like many other industries, the telecom sector has a significant role to play in transitioning to a sustainable energy future.

As the regulatory authority for the telecom sector, the NCC aims to ensure that the industry's growth aligns with environmental sustainability and is in harmony with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

"This presents a significant opportunity for the telecommunications sector to contribute to the world's energy transformation. Let us leverage the power of collective intelligence to develop actionable strategies that will shape the future of the telecom industry in Nigeria," added Prof. Danbatta.
