The Chairman, Senate Committee on Communications,  Gil Emeka Nnaji, has told mobile network providers in Nigeria to improve on their service delivery or face being forced out of the country. 

The Nigerian mobile service providers  popularly known as GSM which stands for the Global System for Mobile Telecommunications, have all been accused recently of not meeting up to the expectation of their customers.

Senator Nnaji said that  the Senate was ready to put in place  all the necessary legislative provisions to ensure that the GSM service providers in Nigeria do not take for granted  what the masses face in terms of poor network and rural phone coverage,  emphasizing that if the network providers continue in their old ways, they may be kicked out of the country.

According to him, “the Senate as a responsive and socially-responsible institution, after series of interactive sessions towards addressing the lingering public outcry, subsequently decided to ascertain the level of culpability or otherwise of these network service providers on these issues with a view to advising the plenary appropriately.”

Egbo Mon-Charles, the Public Relations to Senator Nnaji, in a statement said that the NCC boss, Eugene Juwah, in his presentation disclosed that NCC had been supported by the Federal Capital Territory Administration for adequate provision of  more telecommunication tower sites in Abuja in order to ensure a steadily service supply to the FCT.
