In a reaffirmation of commitment to bilateral relations, the Swedish Embassy assured the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) of their unwavering dedication to enhancing the existing partnership. The announcement came during a courtesy visit by the Swedish Ambassador, H.E. Hahn-Englund, to the Chief of NCC at his office in Abuja.

Discussions during the visit centered on the ongoing collaborative efforts between the NCC and Sweden, particularly in the areas of capacity building and skills development. Dr. Maida, the Chief of NCC, and Ambassador Hahn-Englund engaged in fruitful deliberations aimed at fostering stronger ties and mutual cooperation.

Dr. Maida took the opportunity to underscore the significance of the Knowledge Pillar within the Strategic Blueprint of the Honourable Minister of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani. He highlighted the positive impact of staff exchanges between the Commission and their Swedish counterparts, reinforcing the knowledge-sharing aspect of the strategic partnership.
