Tijani said the government approved the hike after a carefully looking at the matter because of the telecom sector is critical.
“If we chose not to allow the increase in tariff, we would be at the risk of losing jobs, as some of these companies could pack up, and when you weigh that, it’s also not the best thing for the economy.
“This is a government that is extremely conscious of the state of the economy, and Mr. President consistently takes into consideration each and every citizen before making decisions.
“Some of these decisions are difficult, but we have to balance the interests of individuals and businesses alike,” Tijani said.
