The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has challenged the Wireless telecommunications operators and infrastructure providers of masts/towers, generators, storage tank for fuel and shelters, among others, in the country to seek ways of partnering for a successful co-location infrastructure project.

The Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of NCC, Engr. Ernest Ndukwe, who gave the charge in Abuja, on Wednesday, on Co-location Infrastructure Project (CIP) for Telecoms and Other ICT Services, stressed that such collaboration between the operators and local site builders or infrastructure providers (hosts), would provide the synergy required to build a mutually beneficial Base Transceiver Station (BTS).

He added that the existence of BTS would enable the partnering operators to extend telecoms as well as Information and Communications Technology (ICT) services to unserved and underserved rural areas in Nigeria.
