Nigeria: Okere Advocates Appropriate Local Content Development

23 October 2014

CWG Boss, Austin Okere has called for establishment of the right type of local content policy in the telecoms industry. He spoke at the just concluded Telecom Executives and Regulator's Forum organised by the Association of Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) in Lagos.

According to him, "We should not stampede the NCC into taking actions that will impede the much needed Foreign Direct Investment in the sector". Explaining his position, he said: "We should not confuse local content with taking businesses from foreign investors and handing them over to locals without recourse to technical ability and financial capability within the value chain".
