Nigerians can expect a telecom tariff hike soon, but it won’t be the 100% increase that telecom operators have been pushing for, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has announced.
The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, who made this announcement at a stakeholders’ meeting with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in Abuja on Wednesday, explained that the proposed tariff increase is aimed at striking a balance between protecting consumers and ensuring that telecom companies can continue to invest in the sector.
