 2025: Anxiety as Nigerians to pay 40 per cent more for calls, data


There is anxiety over a possible 40 percent telecommunications service tariff hike in Nigeria this New Year.

This comes as telecommunications subscribers in Nigeria, under the aegis of the National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATCOMS), rejected the proposed telecoms tariff hike.

The subscribers said it would be insensitive for the Nigerian government to approve a telecoms tariff hike amid the existing economic hardship.

In recent days, there has been widespread speculation of a 40 percent telecoms hike.

Accordingly, this means that all telecom services offered by operators such as MTN, Glo, Airtel, and others would increase by 40 percent. For instance, a data bundle priced at N1000 would rise to N1,400 in the new tariff regime expected to kick off in 2025.

Meanwhile, official sources in the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) refuted the tariff hike claims.

This comes at a time when telecom operators, in a recent statement, threatened a shutdown if tariffs are not increased.

Last year, the NCC continued to refuse to approve telecom operators’ requests for tariff hikes.
