The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Prof. Umar Danbatta, has felicitated women in the NCC on the occasion of the 2023 International Women’s Day.
Danbatta noted that about 50 per cent of the NCC’s management team is made up of women who have distinguished themselves, and demonstrated capacity to contribute to the success of the Commission.
The NCC boss said this via a statement issued in commemoration of International Women’s Day on Wednesday.
He stated: This occasion presents another opportunity for me to reiterate the Commission’s irrevocable commitment to promoting gender equality and inclusive participation in line with the theme of the celebration: ‘DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality’.

“Today, gender inclusiveness in the Commission’s affairs permeates all cadres and disciplines. About fifty per cent of the Commission’s management team is made up of women who have distinguished themselves and demonstrated capacity, capability, and desirability to contribute to the success of the Commission in promoting and sustaining the growth of the telecoms sector.
“It has been established across the world, and in all parts of human endeavours that inclusion of women in leadership has contributed in commensurate organic growth, which justifies the notion that development of any nation will be incomplete without the participation and contributions of women.
“This is why we are deliberate, purposeful, and conscious of the need to encourage women and girls to partake of the innovative digital opportunities available to them to improve their lives and skills in ways that fulfill their needs and aspirations through their chosen careers.
“On this note, and on behalf of the Board and Management, the entire NCC family, I felicitate with our women folk and wish to share in their joy of womanhood, and the expected greater roles they have been destined to play in promoting peace and harmony in the world,” Danbatta said.
