NSA Warns States Against Shutting Telecom Sites Over Revenue Disputes.

The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has warned state governments against shutting down telecommunications sites over revenue or local disputes, saying such actions threaten Nigeria’s digital future and economic growth.

Ribadu, who was represented by the Director of Critical National Assets and Infrastructure Protection at the Office of the National Security Adviser, Enebong Effiom, gave the warning in Abuja at a Business Roundtable on Improving Investments in Broadband Connectivity and Safeguarding Critical National Infrastructure.

He stated that arbitrary site closures, multiple taxation, and inconsistent right-of-way charges were hindering the country’s broadband expansion.
