The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) said it remitted N49.7 billion to the Federal Government in the first quarter of 2018.
The NCC’s Director of Public Affairs Mr Tony Ojobo, said in a statement on Thursday that the remittance was in compliance with the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2007 (FRA 2007).
Ojobo said the figure represented the “Payment on Account” in respect of operating surplus for period.
“According to the FRA 2007, such payments are to be made every year after preparation of Audited Accounts.
“However, the NCC has taken the initiative to be making payments on account as it generates revenue,’’ Ojobo said.
“Section 22, Sub section 1 of the Act states that notwithstanding the provisions of any written law governing the Corporation, each Corporation shall establish a general reserve fund and shall allocate thereto at the end of each financial year, one fifth of its operating surplus for the year.
“Section 22, Sub section 2 of the Act is clear about this – the balance of the operating surplus shall be paid into the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) of the Federal Government not later than one month following the statutory deadline for publishing each Corporations Account.’’
The director said that the funds remitted were besides “Spectrum Assignment fees which are remitted 100 per cent to the Federal Government in line with Section 17, Sub section 3 of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA 2003).’’
According to him, the section states that “the Commission shall pay all monies accruing from the sale of Spectrum under Part 1 of Chapter VIII into the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CFR).”
He quoted Prof. Umar Danbatta, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC as saying that the telecommunications sector impacted the Nigerian economy positively during a visit to the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele.
“For instance in the first quarter of 2017, telecommunications contributed N1.45 trillion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) while the figures rose to N1.549 trillion in the second quarter of 2017.
“This performance at a period of recession is very remarkable,’’ Danbatta had explained.
He said that the commission would keep date with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to “identify and track how these trends continue.”
Danbatta said that in general terms, the telecoms industry contribution to GDP in Nigeria stood at 10 per cent yearly in the last four years.
He noted that those figures may not have told the entire story as investments in human and material resources rise on daily basis.
According to him, from a paltry 50 million dollars investment in the sector in 2001, the figures stand at 70billion dollars as at September, 2017.
He said that Value Added Services (VAS) segment of the sector investment is over 200 million dollars and estimated to hit 500 million dollars by the turn of 2021.
“The industry has provided direct and indirect employment to millions of Nigerians and over 150 million subscribers are connected to various networks with broadband penetration currently at 22 per cent, according to the UNESCO/ITU Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).”
He said the NCC was working hard to achieve the 30 per cent penetration in line with the National Broadband Plan (NBP) from 2013 to 2018).

equilibrado de turbinas
Dispositivos de equilibrado: clave para el funcionamiento fluido y óptimo de las equipos.
En el entorno de la tecnología avanzada, donde la productividad y la estabilidad del aparato son de gran trascendencia, los sistemas de equilibrado desempeñan un tarea crucial. Estos sistemas adaptados están creados para balancear y estabilizar componentes rotativas, ya sea en dispositivos productiva, transportes de desplazamiento o incluso en dispositivos hogareños.
Para los profesionales en mantenimiento de sistemas y los ingenieros, manejar con dispositivos de ajuste es fundamental para garantizar el funcionamiento uniforme y confiable de cualquier mecanismo rotativo. Gracias a estas alternativas innovadoras avanzadas, es posible disminuir sustancialmente las sacudidas, el zumbido y la esfuerzo sobre los sujeciones, extendiendo la vida útil de partes caros.
Asimismo trascendental es el rol que cumplen los equipos de balanceo en la servicio al comprador. El ayuda experto y el mantenimiento regular empleando estos aparatos posibilitan proporcionar soluciones de excelente excelencia, incrementando la satisfacción de los usuarios.
Para los titulares de emprendimientos, la financiamiento en estaciones de ajuste y sensores puede ser clave para incrementar la eficiencia y rendimiento de sus sistemas. Esto es sobre todo trascendental para los inversores que manejan medianas y intermedias organizaciones, donde cada elemento vale.
También, los aparatos de equilibrado tienen una amplia implementación en el sector de la fiabilidad y el supervisión de calidad. Permiten identificar probables errores, previniendo reparaciones caras y daños a los aparatos. También, los datos generados de estos dispositivos pueden aplicarse para maximizar métodos y mejorar la presencia en buscadores de investigación.
Las áreas de implementación de los aparatos de calibración cubren múltiples áreas, desde la producción de bicicletas hasta el supervisión del medio ambiente. No interesa si se trata de extensas fabricaciones de fábrica o limitados talleres hogareños, los aparatos de calibración son indispensables para garantizar un rendimiento productivo y sin interrupciones.
