NCC Roundtable: Globacom Leads Broadband Investment, Infrastructure Security Drive

Telecommunications giant, Globacom, has reaffirmed its commitment to Nigeria’s digital transformation by actively supporting the ongoing Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Business Roundtable on Broadband Investment and Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure, holding at the NCC Headquarters, Abuja.

The two-day event, themed “Right of Way and Protection of Broadband Infrastructure – The Road to Success in Broadband Investment and Connectivity,” convenes key stakeholders from federal and state governments, regulatory agencies, and private sector players to discuss strategies for accelerating broadband expansion and safeguarding critical telecom assets nationwide.

According to industry observers, the roundtable provides a strategic platform for aligning public and private sector efforts toward achieving Nigeria’s broadband penetration goals, improving policy coordination, and bridging the digital divide—particularly in underserved and rural areas.

In a statement issued during the event, Globacom said its sponsorship and participation reflect its unwavering commitment to advancing Nigeria’s digital future through inclusive, secure, and sustainable connectivity initiatives.

“We believe that digital transformation must be inclusive and secure. Our participation in this roundtable is a continuation of our mission to support national development through technology. A resilient broadband infrastructure is critical to Nigeria’s economic growth and global competitiveness,” the company stated.

The telecom leader also disclosed that it is providing both logistical and technical support to ensure the success of the forum, underscoring its role as a key enabler of Nigeria’s digital ecosystem.

Beyond sponsorship, Globacom noted that the event offers a vital opportunity to shape policy direction on issues such as Right of Way (RoW), broadband investment incentives, and long-term regulatory frameworks.

“By contributing to these discussions, we seek to accelerate nationwide deployment of high-speed internet while ensuring robust safeguards for critical communication assets,” the statement added.

Globacom further described the roundtable as a platform to deepen public-private partnerships, explore innovative funding models, and advocate equitable access to broadband services—consistent with its long-standing vision of digital inclusion and empowerment for millions of Nigerians.

The company also emphasized that its contributions to the Critical National Information Infrastructure Protection Plan (CNIIPP) are aimed at establishing a unified national framework for telecom security, strengthening Nigeria’s defences against cyber threats and infrastructure sabotage.

Through sustained investment in broadband infrastructure and technology innovation, Globacom reaffirmed its position as a trusted partner in driving Nigeria’s journey toward a fully digitized, economically vibrant, and secure future.
