The News Agency of Nigeria reports that both parties have agreed to form a committee with the view to having a Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate the collaboration.

NIGCOMSAT owns and operates the Nigerian Communications Satellite systems, with a vision to be the leading satellite solutions’ provider in Nigeria and Africa. (NAN)
