    Here is Nigeria’s plan for 2023 World Consumer Rights Day

    The Nigerian government through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) will show interest in Renewable Energy during World Consumer Rights Day 2023.

    Plans of activities lined up is for the Commission to host an event to mark the 2023 World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD) in Abuja, which will spotlight its regulatory initiatives on clean energy usage in the telecoms sector.

    The theme of the 2023 edition of the Day is “Empowering Consumers through Clean Energy Transitions.”

    Already, a committee to organize the event has been inaugurated by the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta.

    NCC’s Executive Commissioner, Stakeholder Management, Barrister Adeleke Adewolu, who inaugurated the committee on behalf of Prof. Danbatta, said: “the Commission is committed to reducing the impact that telecommunications operation has on climate change and the environment while noting that the peculiarities of Nigeria’s electricity supply have resulted in the telecommunications sector being a contributor to carbon emissions,”.

    The theme provides an opportunity for NCC to share with beloved telecom consumers and other stakeholders, as well as the public, the policies it has instituted, and other actions that are taken to encourage operators in the sector to transition to environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources in their operations.

    In what has become a tradition in the Commission since 2017, when it declared 2017 as the Year of the Telecom Consumers when it honoured telecom consumers by connecting with the global theme for the commemoration to celebrate the Day with landmark activities, the Commission has continued to promote consumer protection and enlightenment.

    Danbatta, who is a Fellow of the Renewable Alternative Energy Society (FRAES), stated that studies have shown that renewables and energy efficiency, boosted by substantial electrification, can provide over 90 percent of the necessary reductions in energy-related carbon emissions. He said increasing the use of electricity sourced from renewables presents the best opportunity to accelerate the world’s energy transformation.

    “The theme is very apt this year, as we know the implication of the climate change disaster facing the world. So, as a Commission, we are committed to reducing the impact of climate change. The telecoms sector contributes to global emissions, particularly when you realize that there are over 54,000 base transmitter stations powered, in some cases 24 hours seven days a week, by generators. You can just imagine the emissions from these,” Danbatta said.

    He explained that the Commission was already looking at introducing a policy to encourage ethical energy sources, as part of the Commission’s commitment to safeguarding the environment for consumers and other users of telecom services, a move that is also in tandem with the process of actualising some of the key items of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
