The achievements of Ndukwe have being variously chronicled and the awards and recognitions he has received locally and internationally are numerable, the statement.
For the avoidance of doubt, Ndukwe has been voted severally as the best telecommunications regulator in Africa. His regulatory templates have been cited severally by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and adopted by other African countries.
Ndukwe took the NCC from the position of a non-profit public organisation to one which now generates bullish income to its owners, the federal government.
Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians are now directly employed by companies that have sprung up as a result of the investment that have come into the telecom sector on account of the regulatory measures that Ndukwe’s NCC has put in place. Millions are now indirectly employed thereby.
The evening event which shall also be attended by invited members of the ICT sector will hold on February 27, 2010.
