Twitter Suspends Account Of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)

Micro-blogging platform, Twitter has suspended the account of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

No reason has been given yet for the suspension.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is the independent regulatory authority for the telecommunications industry in Nigeria. The NCC was created under Decree number 75 by the [Federal Military Government of Nigeria] on 24 November 1992.

The NCC was charged with the responsibility of regulating the supply of telecommunications services and facilities, promoting competition, and setting performance standards for telephone services in Nigeria.

The Decree has been abrogated and replaced with the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003.

Though no reason has been given yet, a quick check on the official handle of the agency ‘@NgComCommission’ confirmed the development.
