The paper suggests regulatory benchmarks for the purpose of repositioning the ICT sector and approaches to strengthening the regulation of ICT in Nigeria. The paper concludes with an emphasis on value–added and result–based approach to the Information and Communications Technology regulation process in Nigeria.
