The Federal Ministry of Justice and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday stressed the need for synergy to address the problems confronting the telecom sector that have led to investment drought.Attorney-eneral of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef O. Fagbemi, SAN and the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of NCC, Dr Aminu Maida underscored this pressing need at the First Annual Workshop for Attorneys-General on Emerging Issues in the Communications Sector held at Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos. In his keynote on the occasion, the Justice Minister said digital transformation is critical to improvement in socio-economic development of a nation, adding that a well regulated communications sector implies enacting and implementing laws and regulations that ensure protection of rights including right to privacy, data protection and consumer rights as well as regulations that support the ease of doing business in Nigeria. The justice and judicial sector are therefore critical components for regulating communications in Nigeria.
