INTRODUCTION
Nigeria Telecommunication Plc Enugu in public liability company that carries out business in the telecommunication sector in Nigeria before now. It is the only telecommunication outfit that issues telephone lines to individuals and corporate organization in Nigeria. Nitel was created from the fomer post and telecommunications. It is the nation’s national carrier.
Nigeria Telecommunication Plc was in charge of issuing out line to other telecommunications operations both in fixed and wireless lines. Nitel Plc stood as a confess in the telecommunication sector in Nigeria because it gives the back bone for other operators in the country. The first Managing Director of Nitel Plc was Engr. Augustine Otiji who made Nitel Plc what it is today.
When the government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo came into power in 1999, deregulation was confessed in some sectors of the economy. This was as a result of the feeling that most government companies and parastatals were operating below expectations and those expected to the making profit were not doing so.
Deregulation is all about private participation in business where government help surrey private individuals are allowed to invest in such capital intensive business like telecommunication downstream and upstream oil sector, part activities etc. Incidentally, the telecommunication sector was deregulated and other players like MTN, V Mobile, Glob COM, Ster comms etc. came into the business. The Nigeria communication commission was also established to oversee the activities and the operations of those private participants in the telecoms sector.
With this development, Nitel found itself in a foil. The need to advertise itself, to create goodwill and services among its internal and external publics and the importance of discharging its services responsibility to the environment where it is established became emphasized. Telephone subscribes now have a choice and they more likely to invest their money where the would get the best services.
