Telecom Companies To Implement 50% Tariff Hike Despite NLC’s Position
The telecommunications companies operating in Nigeria have decided to proceed with the implementation of a 50% hike in data, call, and other tariffs after they receive approval from the regulatory body.
The Nigerian chairman of the Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), Gbenga Adebayo, made the plans known to the public when he said Globacom, Airtel, and MTN are putting all necessary measures in place before enforcing the hike.
The 50% increase in the price of data, calls, and other tariffs will take effect soon, but the specific date has not been announced.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the tariff hike, describing it as a burden on Nigerians. NLC President Joe Ajaero criticized the government for prioritizing corporate profits over citizens’ welfare, worsening living conditions for many.
