Nigeria is the fastest communication growing country in Africa with the National Communication Commission NCC registering over 100million communication lines and subscribers.

The development amounts to 81 percent telecommunication density which is also the largest in the continent.

The Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Eugene Juwah, made these disclosures Friday at the ongoing Enugu International Trade Fair.

He was Sunday Atuh who added that through the Universal Access Programme, the Commission had ensured deployment of telecommunication services to the rural areas.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Communication, Sen. Gil Nnaji, at the occasion, criticised the spate of destruction on telecommunication facilities, saying it will affect services.

Nnaji, representing Enugu East Senatorial zone, called for restraint, saying the senate would continue to collaborate with the Ministry of Communication to provide adequate infrastructure to aid efficient services.
