Assuring Nigeria’s digital services and telecoms revenue, end to end.

The mandate

A concession granted by the Federal Government of Nigeria

3RRAS was established as the Special Purpose Vehicle for the 3R Consortium to hold this concession and deploy a Revenue Assurance and Fraud Management infrastructure that keeps long-term, auditable records of the revenue accruing to the Federal Government from Nigeria’s telecommunications industry — closing the gap between what operators owe and what is actually collected. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) signed the concession for and on behalf of the FGN, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy.

The project followed the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission’s (ICRC) Public-Private Partnership procurement process from 2015 through to a signed PPP Agreement in June 2022, under a Design, Finance, Build, Operate and Transfer (DFBOT) model. In 2023, following presidential approval to extend the platform’s reach into the digital economy, NCC and 3RRAS executed a Supplemental Agreement expanding the mandate and extending the PPP Term to 15 years.
