About one million fake phones valued at N2.7 billion were imported into Nigeria in 2013, the Federal Government has disclosed even as it also lamented the poor quality of service delivery by telecommunications operators in the country.
Minister of Communication and Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson, revealed this yesterday at the Consumer Roundtable on Phone Rights organised by the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) to commemorate the 2014 World Consumer Rights Day in Abuja.
Mrs. Johnson, who said the number could be higher by the end of 2014, however, noted that government’s ability to attract investments into the telecom sector would be severely hampered if the nation remains a lucrative market for fake products.
