Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance & Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) has embarked on a historic working visit to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Headquarters in Abuja.

The delegation was led by Chief Executive Officer, Prince Oyekanmi Elegushi, alongside members of the senior management team. The visit marked a significant milestone in strengthening collaboration between LASIMRA and NCC towards improving the telecommunications sector in Lagos State.

The meeting enriched by the presence of representatives from the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), including the Chairman, Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, and the Publicity Secretary, Mr. Damian Udeh. Discussions was focused on addressing critical issues affecting the industry, with particular emphasis on the security and protection of telecom infrastructure.

LASIMRA reiterated the need for effective oversight and safeguarding of these essential assets under the jurisdiction of the Lagos State Government.

LASIMRA raised concerns about damages to public infrastructure caused by some operators during fibre deployment and reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing appropriate penalties to preserve public assets.

The parties agreed on the importance of a unified strategy involving NCC, LASIMRA and other stakeholders to bring order to the sector, improve connectivity, and ensure widespread access to high-quality telecommunications services across Lagos.
