Device Mgt System won’t expose users’ data – NCC
By Prince Osuagwu The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has allayed fears that its new Device Management System, DMS, designed to strengthen Type Approval compliance for mobile devices in Nigeria, could give the regulator access to users’ personal data and communications.
