The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has commenced the installation of a Wireless Internet Cloud at the Nasararwa State College of Education Akwanga.

This was in keeping with the commission’s earlier promise in appreciation of the recent passage of the Right of Way Regulation 2023 by the Nasararwa State Government.

Consequently, the state Governor, Abdullahi Sule, yesterday inspected the ongoing installation of the facility in Akwanga, headquarters of Akwanga Local Government Area of the state.

The Nasarawa State Right of Way (RoW) Regulation 2023 waives RoW charges for installing, placing, laying, and maintaining telecommunications network facilities in Nasarawa State.

Speaking to journalists during the inspection, Govenor Sule said the passage of the law was a significant step towards a thriving digital economy in the state.

The governor explained that the project included: 10km fiber network, a network operating centre, a dedicated power bank with a 10kva hybrid online inverter, 240 Mbps of free internet service, and one free line internet bandwidth.
