MTN, GLO, Others Gives Update On Tariff Hike For Calls, SMS, Data

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.
