PEBEC Names NCC Among Top Five Best-Performing Federal Agencies for 2025

The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has ranked the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) among the top five best-performing Federal Government agencies for 2025 under its Transparency and Efficiency Category.

The NCC was listed alongside the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (overall best-performing agency), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (second place), the Nigeria Customs Service, and the Nigerian Ports Authority.

The recognition was announced on Tuesday at the PEBEC Awards and Gala Night held at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja.

According to PEBEC, the award celebrates transparency, efficiency, and operational excellence across Nigeria’s public service. The NCC was honoured for its “commitment to openness, accountability, and operational excellence in public service delivery.”

Receiving the award on behalf of the Commission, the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, Dr. Aminu Maida, reaffirmed the NCC’s dedication to strengthening transparency and accountability in its regulatory operations. He described the recognition as a validation of the Commission’s reform efforts.

“The Commission is proud to be listed among the Top Five Best-Performing Federal Government Agencies for 2025. This recognition is an affirmation of the values that guide our work: transparency, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence,” Maida said.

He noted that the award reflects the results of ongoing reforms and strengthened systems, adding that the Commission remains focused on fostering a conducive environment for telecommunications operators and investors.

“For us at the NCC, this honour is both a validation and a responsibility. It reassures us that we are on the right path and challenges us to deepen our commitment to the Nigerian people,” he added.

Maida reiterated the Commission’s mandate to maintain a fair and competitive telecom landscape that supports investment, encourages innovation, and ensures consumers receive the highest quality of service.

“Nigerians can rest assured that we will not rest on our oars. We remain fully committed to ensuring that the telecom consumer receives the highest quality of service, supported by a fair, transparent, and competitive industry. We will also continue to strengthen our collaborations with all stakeholders—because meaningful progress in our sector can only be achieved through shared commitment and collective action,” he stated.
