Strategic Management Plan (SMP)
 

The SMP page contains information on the Commission's current strategic focus.

Since the establishment of NCC, it has made significant progress in its effort to achieve its strategic aspirations. In the last couple of years the Commission had played significant role in opening up many markets within the Nigerian telecommunication industry to competition, and is still actively pursuing a market driven approach to further competition, management of scarce national resources, enforcement and regulatory issues, and consumer protection and education. 

The strategic thrust of NCC Five (5) Year Strategic Management Plan (SMP) is to ensure that ICT is at the forefront of the Governments drive to deliver a highly prosperous Nigeria through addressing the issues of service provision, quality and grade of service and management of a competitive market environment. 

The overall objective of the SMP is to create and manage a competitive telecommunications market focused on meeting the requirements of the National Telecommunication Policy, through: 

   
 		 Enabling the creation of an information rich and communications technology based economy
 
   
 		 Facilitating the evolution of a seamless national network and optimised telecommunications infrastructure
 
   
 		 Improved service delivery.
 

The last SMP was made up of six goals. Each goal comprises targets, key strategic initiatives, performance measure and programmes. The goals are summarized below

Goal 1:
