Nigeria and Ghana strengthen telecom regulatory ties at Accra summit.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Ghana’s National Communications Authority (NCA) reaffirmed their commitment to deepening regulatory cooperation during a bilateral meeting in Accra on May 8, 2025, setting the stage for enhanced regional integration in West Africa’s telecom sector.

The meeting—held at the NCA Tower—formed part of a two-day benchmarking visit by an eight-member Nigerian delegation led by NCC Executive Vice Chairman, Dr. Aminu Maida. The visit focused on cross-border regulatory alignment, oversight strategies, and the sharing of industry best practices between the two telecom giants.

Welcoming the delegation, NCA’s Acting Director General, Rev. Ing. Edmund Yirenkyi Fianko, emphasized the long-standing bond between the two countries and the urgency of coordinated regulation in a digitally connected region.

“We have always supported each other when needed, and it is important that we continue to set the tone for regional leadership, especially on the international front,” Fianko said. “Ghana is keen to work with Nigeria on areas such as ECOWAS Roaming, cross-border monitoring of shared market players, and regulatory capacity building.”
