Adeleke Adewolu, executive commissioner stakeholders management of the NCC, said this on Thursday while speaking at a meeting with telecommunications service providers in Abuja.

He explained that the report is a review of complaint categories and the service level agreement which the consumer affairs of the NCC put together in collaboration with service providers.
“If a particular incident happens in the service provision and the customer feels dissatisfied with the service he received, if he complains and does not receive a response from the providers within 24 hours then they will be punished,” the commissioner said.
He said the report would guide the providers in the delivery of services and help resolving complaints by customers.
