Thomas disclosed this yesterday at the dinner of 2020 Seminar for Insurance Journalists, holding at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, adding that the Commission’s portal that has been on the drawing board for over six years, has been fixed. “Now we have a portal that is taking us from where we were to a new level. The last module of the portal, will be fixed before the end of the year. Substantially, we now have a portal we can call NAICOM portal,” he added.

“The digital world will drive regulation. On like what we said before, we are going to engage the industry with our IT guidelines. It is no longer going to be historical reporting, it is going to be reporting as at now. If you tap anybody in the commission, he or she should be able to tell you the transactions in the market in the last four days. That is the objective, that is where we are heading to,” he stated.
