At the event, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Airtel, Segun Ogunsanya, said: "Manufacturing firms have been given some privileges. We know that foreign exchange is affecting so many other sectors, but telcos do not want to be disadvantaged in getting access to foreign exchange." "Telecoms firms also manufacture airtime, so we should also be given access to foreign exchange as well," Ogunsanya said. Speaking on how to drive financial inclusion in Nigeria, Ogunsanya said countries like Kenya and Ghana showed better penetration in the area of mobile money services due to the model where telcos lead the service. "So there is need to change the model of mobile money in Nigeria," Ogunsanya said. The special reception which took place in Lagos, was organised by the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON). NCC boss Danbatta, in his remark, explained the commission's activities towards creating an enabling environment for players in the industry.
