NCC Suspends directive on Data price hike


This comes as a bit of a relief. The Nigerian communications Commission (NCC) has suspended its directive to telecom operators to increase the price of data tariffs.

This is contained in a statement signed by Tony Ojobo, the Director of Public Affairs of the NCC.


NCC Prescribes Increased Data Tariffs for Telecoms Operators from December 1


This is a not so good news. Earlier today, customers received messages from their service providers on a planned increase in the price of data tariffs as prescribed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

One of them read: “Dear customer, please be informed that from 1st Dec, some data tariffs will be increased to reflect the new rates set by the NCC to operators. Thank you.”
