Telecommunications companies operating in Nigeria have revealed that they will soon commence charging subscribers the 50 percent call, data, and other tariff hike.
The Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria, ALTON, Gbenga Adebayo, disclosed this in an exclusive interview on Wednesday.
Adebayo noted that telcos are concurrently fulfilling all regulatory requirements necessary to implement the fresh telecoms tariff hike for subscribers.
He did not state the exact date telcos would commence the fresh tariff hike implementation but said it would take off any time operators such as MTN, Airtel, and Glo conclude the required regulatory steps.
“The 50 percent tariff hike will be implemented as soon as possible. We are now going through regulatory requirements of the telecoms tariff hike.
“When the regulatory steps are completed, operators will start introducing the new tariff.
“I can’t say February 2025 or earlier, but as soon as the regulatory steps are concluded, operators will introduce the new tariff hike,” he said.
