The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has accused some operators of behaving in a way that is suggestive of collusion with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in order to short change the government and encourage capital flight in the telecommunications sector.
Director, New Media and Information Security, NCC, Dr Sylvanus Ehikioya, said some of the OEMs/vendors dismember information technology (IT) equipment supplied to the operators so as to get payment on each of the dismembered parts, adding that invoices submitted to the NCC for such payments are symptomatic of a deliberate attempt to collude with the vendors to cut corners. According to Dr Ehikioya, payment for a base transmission (BTS) for example is one whole unit but the vendors will want to split it into software and hardware, arguing that there can never be hardware without software.
