The government has initiated a major rightsizing and restructuring of the National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC), aligning the corporation with the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Act.
Official documents reveal that extensive organisational and regulatory changes are being planned to modernise the corporation.
A government-appointed consultant has begun reviewing NTC's existing structure and will submit a detailed report on the scale and scope of the rightsizing process.
This move is after the recent amendments to the NTC Act that involved the reconstitution of the NTC Management Board under the SOE Act and updating policies, procedures and employee regulations. Operational and administrative practices are also being revised to meet modern requirements.
NTC Managing Director Major General (R) Ali Farhan said that the corporation was actively working with the consultant to develop a more efficient organisational model.
He stated, “NTC’s current workforce will be reorganised into a more efficient and credible structure.” “We will expand NTC’s service footprint across all four provinces.” “Redistribution of human resources can significantly improve performance and operational efficiency.”
NTC, as per the organisational chart of the corporation, works under a managing director. Under him are divisions of Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), heading IT, regional operations, finance, administration, and HR, along with technical units.
The sanctioned strength of NTC is 2,479 employees. The current working strength is approximately 2,421 staff.
Sources say the aim of the rightsizing process is for workforce distribution optimisation, reduction of operational costs, and increased efforts in service delivery.
Major structural and administrative reforms will be rolled out progressively as this current administration and the NTC work together on the big modernisation effort.
