“We have interacted with Nigerians and what they want is pay-as-you-go, so that when they are out of their respective locations, their subscriptions can be there and they will make use of it when they return.

“We are here to defend our constituents who happen to be the consumers; based on the inauguration today, I can tell Nigerians that justice will be done at the end of the day,” he said.

Hon. Edem explained that the Committee was ready to step on toes in the bid to satisfy interests of over 100 million constituents who elected members of the House of Representatives based on courage and boldness and that would be brought to play,” he assured.

The lawmaker said all stakeholders including the regulators and service providers would be invited to deliberate on ways to open up the sector, adding that all the bottlenecks will be critically looked into with the view to liberalise it for more the benefits of interested Nigerians.
