The Nigerian Communications Commission has been ranked among the top three Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government in the 2025 assessment of website performance conducted under the Bureau of Public Service Reforms scorecard, a development that underscores the Commission’s growing reputation for digital efficiency and transparent public service delivery.
The ranking, which assessed the online performance of 235 federal MDAs, placed the NCC second overall, behind Galaxy Backbone Limited and ahead of the Nigeria Export Promotion Council. The evaluation was based on a broad range of indicators, including compliance with the official .gov.ng domain policy, quality and relevance of content, website design, responsiveness across devices, security features, uptime, functionality, accessibility, interactivity, ease of navigation and institutional capacity to sustain digital platforms.
Officials of the Commission said the recognition reflects sustained investments in digital infrastructure and a deliberate focus on leveraging online platforms to improve access to information, stakeholder engagement and regulatory responsiveness. The award was presented during a formal ceremony organised by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms in Abuja as part of activities supporting the implementation of the National e-Government Masterplan.
Speaking on behalf of the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the NCC, Dr Aminu Maida, the Executive Commissioner for Technical Services, Engr Abraham Oshadami, said the ranking would further spur the Commission to strengthen its digital presence and raise the standard of information and services delivered through its online channels. He noted that effective digital communication remains central to regulatory transparency, accountability and public trust, particularly in a sector as dynamic as telecommunications.
The BPSR scorecard is an annual performance assessment designed to promote best practices in digital governance across the public service and encourage MDAs to align with modern standards for online service delivery in line with ongoing public sector reforms.
