A significant update shakes Nigeria’s telecommunications sector as the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) declares an increase in regulatory fees for equipment necessitating type approval within the country, effective from July 4th, 2023. Notably, if equipment falls under multiple categories, a higher billing fee will be applied.
In addition to the fee adjustments, all equipment manufacturers, vendors, and operators are strongly urged to ensure strict adherence to applicable standards outlined in the notice.
This development directly impacts the pricing structure for Type Approval, with potential ramifications for imports, especially concerning mobile phones and wireless products. Stay informed and compliant with these updated regulations to navigate Nigeria’s telecommunications landscape effectively.
