We are still looking at that study, and NCC will come up with a clear directive on how we will go about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to strike the balance as a government to protect our people but also protect and ensure that these companies can continue to invest significantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to ensure that as a sector, we get our acts together and ensure that from the regulation side, we put the right regulations in place that can ensure the growth of this sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minister also noted that the federal government would no longer leave investments in infrastructure in the sector to private companies alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a country, over time, we have left this investment in the hands of the private sector.
