Organised by the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria, ATCON, the umbrella body of telecommunications companies in Nigeria, the award initiative arose from the need to appreciate excellence, foster healthy competition and to drive investment in the sector, amongst others.
Speaking on the achievement, Chief Executive Officer of Medallion communications, Mr. Ikechukwu Nnamani, commended the organisers for promoting excellence in the industry, adding that acknowledging the organisation’s effort, which was also named the ‘Telecom Solution Support Company of the year’ would further spur it to redefine interconnectivity and data center services in the country.
President of ATCON, Mr OlusolaTeniola, maintained that the exercise considered strict professionalism in its procedures and therefore commended the awardee for scaling through the tough procedures to emerge the industry hero.
“It is believed that rewarding of creativity and innovation would automatically reinforce investment in the sector both locally and internationally. New innovations require further investments for its continuity and ATCON plans to seize this reward system to appreciate establishments who see innovation as a key driver of the industry.
“As we reward both companies and individual today, We believe that this would motivate innovation and creativity in other operators as well as influence huge investments in the sector,†he added.
