 The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has emphasised that, in light of disruption in the technology world, it is keen on balancing healthy competition with the entry of disruptive technologies to ensure sustainable telecoms industry growth and development in Nigeria. The Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Dambata, stated this during a presentation to the Commission by a delegation from SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company. SpaceX is in the process of launching a low-Earth orbiting constellation of satellites to provide low-latency high bandwidths and internet to all corners of the globe and has identified Nigeria as a critical market. A statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs, NCC Dr Ikechuku Hadindi explains that SpaceX had been in discussion with NCC virtually over the past several months to begin the process of pursuing all necessary licenses to bring Starlink, its satellite-based broadband services to Nigeria.
