International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in a new report, has ranked Nigeria very high at 71 per cent in comparative legal, policy and governance frameworks towards advanced state of readiness for digital transformation known as G5.

The latest report by ITU has Germany, Finland and Singapore leading the global chart of the digital transformation readiness.

This was disclosed in a press release, 2024/Vol. 2/No.9, issued by the Director of Public Affairs of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Reuben Mouka.

As contained in the report, Nigeria was ranked among Africa’s top seven BEMECS 5G Readiness Index, which represents the country’s readiness to deploy and adopt mass-market 5G networks.

The report was conducted by the ITU, the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and the NCC and was unveiled by Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, in Abuja on Monday,

The report, titled Collaborative Regulation: Accelerating Nigeria’s Digital Transformation, was presented at the Digital Economy Complex, Mbora, Abuja by ITU’s Kagwira Nkonge.

The report, among other things, presented a case study for “collaborative regulation review to assess and support Nigeria’s transition towards collaborative digital governance, evidence-based policy making and agile regulation in the digital economy.”

It was presented to a cross section of key industry stakeholders including service providers, government agencies, representatives of multilateral institutions, West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly (WATRA), Africa Telecommunications Union (ATU), among others.

The report was also designed to complement existing cross-country benchmarks in which features of countries policy and regulatory environment were assessed.

“The features of countries policy and regulatory environment were assessed according to the pillars of the Generations of Regulation frameworks.

“These frameworks tracked telecom regulatory maturity towards digital transformation readiness, designated at G5 Advanced State of Readiness, and for which Nigeria currently stands at G4.

“Advanced State of Readiness is benchmarked against four critical levels of accomplishments which include national collaborative governance, policy design principles, digital development toolbox, digital economic policy agenda,” it was stated in the report

Nigeria scored 91 per cent in regulatory capacity; 82 per cent in Market Rules; 81 per cent in Collaborative Governance; 76 per cent in Legal Instruments for ICT/Telecom markets; 69 per cent in National Digital Agenda Policy, among other benchmarks.

Dr. Tijani, in his remarks at the event, commended the ITU and partner agencies and consultants that actualised the report.

He expressed Federal Government’s commitment “to utilise the report as a navigational aid towards attainment of our regulatory objectives and policies outlines towards achieving a robust digital economy.

“That is what we will continue to do as a government, ensuring that we can put ourselves in a place to have cutting-edge modern regulations in place to ensure that business is done properly in our sector and to ensure that, where possible, increase the local content of the sector as well.”

Dr. Tijani noted that NCC has adapted over the years in response to how its role and mandate have changed.

He said: “15, 20 years ago, NCC was just regulating the telecommunications sector. Today, NCC regulates the foundation for which any economy would be prosperous.”

The Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, who hosted the presentation, welcomed the indicators that promote effective regulation, attraction of greater investment and development of innovative models for broader digital inclusion.

He emphasised that collaborative regulation would support Nigeria’s transition towards effective digital governance, evidence-based policy making and agile regulation in the nation’s digital economy.
