News Update
Nigerians may soon experience an increase in calls, data plans and SMS charges from early 2025 as there are indications that the Federal government may give a nod to the persistent calls for tariff review.
Tribune Online learnt that the tariff was last reviewed 11 years ago while telecom operators have continued to intensify their calls for a new hike.
Recently, the National Association of Telecommunications Subscribers (NATCOMS) called on the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to allow telecommunications companies (Telecoms) to increase tariffs by a marginal increase of 10 percent, rather than load-shedding.
Meanwhile, telco giants like MTN, Glo, Airtel, and 9mobile have consistently called for an increase in tariff rates.
