By Nkiru Ebenmelu, GAC Rep, Nigerian Communications Commission
Nigeria does not support the release of Two-Character ASCII Labels ".ng" or the use of "NIGERIA", in the context of any/all of the gTLD(s) at the second level. This should apply to all current and future requests. It is against Nigerian law and strictly prohibited to use the word "Nigeria" or code representing Nigeria without proper authorization by the Government. This assists the Country forestall the abuse and misuse of reserved names associated with the Government; the release would be a breach of our laws. We also wish to inform you that Nigeria reserves the right of authorization for use of “NGR” and “NGA”. As these are also reserved for use by Nigeria. (ISO 3166). We will appreciate it if we are informed of the decision(s) taken.
